Have some good news to help you celebrate this international sawfish day!

Sawfish are one of the most interesting fish ever to have lived and we are remarkably lucky to have them. Today (like all days) is the perfect time to talk about this amazing fish with your family and friends!

So if you haven't heard the news there seems to be a mysterious die-off of small tooth sawfish in South Florida. Nobody's sure exactly what's causing it besides the abnormal spinning behaviors being related.

Luckily, this past week a sawfish was captured and relocated to a rehabilitation facility. In Thursday it recovered enough to be transported to Mote Marine Laboratory for study.

Unfortunately more than 30 deaths of the critically endangered sawfish has been reported and now over fifty species of elasmobranches are showing the same concerning behaviors. I'm interested in seeing where this goes in the future since the obvious suspects like bacterial disease and toxic blooms don't seem to be causing this.

Smalltooth Sawfish “Pocket Protector”

An interesting creature lives in the ocean off southern Florida and the Bahamas. The smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata) is a member of the ray family with a snout lined with needle-sharp teeth that it can use to cut vegetation or chop up a predator that gets too close. The amazing thing about this fish is that the babies are live-born. The question is how can a baby sawfish avoid cutting up…

Stephanie: As an empath, there are many bony fish species I can't make eye contact with because their emotions flood my brain at such high pressure it gives me nosebleeds but cartilaginous fish are no problem as 700 years ago I was a smalltooth sawfish.

Tim: None of these words are in the Torah.

Stephanie: I know they got fish in the Torah.

Some shark species have been known to reproduce via a virgin birth – a process known as parthenogenesis. This was recently observed in the critically endangered smalltooth sawfish. It occurs when females fertilise themselves with material that splits off from an egg as it divides, but then fuses back with the egg. Some sharks have also been known to eat their siblings in the womb. The fastest-growing embryos will feast on the yolk sacs and embryos of their less developed brothers and sisters.
