Smalltooth #sawfish have a biennial reproductive cycle, meaning they give birth every other year. Adult females exhibit parturition site fidelity, returning to the same nursery site(s) to deliver their young.

Baby sawfish develop their little face saw with needle-like teeth in utero. So how do they keep from slicing and dicing their mom and siblings in the womb? They have a built-in pocket protector: Teeth are safely encased in a sheath of tissue that sheds a few days after birth.

This life-improving fact is brought to you by sawfish expert Gregg Poulakis of MyFWC. And if you don't believe me, check out this article with pics from FSU Coastal & Marine Lab! marinelab.fsu.edu/news-at-fsucml…

Could you get a nice genome assembly from a sample left out at room temp. for 1.5 months? Yes! 🐠🩸 stored in 95% EtOH at 22°C for 6 weeks yielded 14 Mb N50 & 97% BUSCO from 34X coverage Oxford Nanopore sequencing [with short fragment eliminator (SFE) kit]. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Incredible #PhD opportunity for Australian/New Zealand citizens investigating bycatch mitigation measures for sharks and #sawfish and assessing sawfish movement patterns following release after capture. Visit the link for details! #sawfishresearch #sawfishconservation

Happy #WorldOceansDay! This year's theme is putting the ocean first and Alexandre Huber has done just that by completing Brazil's largest marine life theme mural including this spectacular #sawfish! Thanks for sharing your #sawfishluv! #sawfishoutreach #sawfishconservation

All #Sawfish are Critically Endangered/Endangered & listed on #CITES Appendix I. PhD student Annmarie Fearing (she/her) is collecting tissues from old sawfish saws from #museums & private collections, with support from numerous collaborators around the world. #RhinoRay #SharkAwarenessDay

Our #genetic research on Largetooth #Sawfish highlights the importance of securing populations in the E Pac/Atlantic to conserve this genetically distinct lineage. Through local collaborators, we are supporting #eDNA surveys for this elusive species in these regions. #RhinoRay

Looking for a needle in a haystack requires the most advanced technology available, so we designed a novel #ddPCR #eDNA assay for Largetooth #Sawfish. What makes this different to qPCR or metabarcoding approaches? ddPCR can detect just 1 copy of target DNA in a water sample!

Are you a herpetologist? Do you like participating in REALLY important research? Take this survey from @LameaceH to help with some really important work!! #jmih23 #herpetology

We need to have a wake up call to researchers at #jmih23 - if you use specimens from #naturalhistorycollections and don’t site: Collection name and Collection Manager and/or Curator it discards the immense amount of work we put into helping you. We notice. :)

We recently caught, tagged, and released THREE endangered smalltooth sawfish inside #TampaBay! Learn more in the latest #SawfishNews article in The Fishing Wire at thefishingwire.com/sawfish-news-h… #SawfishScience
