Summary

[edit]
Description A large Bahamas Sawshark wraps himself along the arc of the underwater tunnel roof in the Ripley's Aquarium of Canada. Sawsharks have a long and flat saw-like rostrum studded with teeth. They are small slender sharks with flattened heads and a pair or barbels beneath the rostrum. They are found only on continental and insular shelves of the northwest and southeast Atlantic, west Indian and west Pacific Ocean, in shallow water in temperate regions, deeper in the tropics. These sharks are ovoviviparous (aplacental viviparous) with litters averaging 7 to17 pups. Sawsharks are often confused with sawfishes which are batoids (rays). More information and pictures about/of the Bahamas Sawshark appear in subsequent captions. (Toronto, Canada, Nov.2015)
