SAWFISH IDENTIFICATION
The five species of sawfish are similar in appearance, but there are key features that you can use to tell them apart, such as their rostrum and fin positioning and shape. Learn about the differences between sawfish in the Indian and Pacific Ocean (top) and Atlantic Ocean (bottom) below. You can download our sawfish identification and release guides by selecting the orange links for your language and paper size (for English) of interest. Identification guides were made possible through funding by Save Our Seas Foundation.
