Freshwater Sawfish (Pristis microdon)

Mohamed bin Zayed Species project number 13256663

The freshwater sawfish (Pristis pristis) was once found on Australia’s east coast but has not been recorded for many years. With the help of traditional owners we will use underwater cameras and gillnets to investigate reports that freshwater sawfish inhabit  the untouched rivers of eastern Cape York.
