Podcasts about sawfish

Sawfish shark conservation might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of sharks, but Dr. Barbara Wueringer is here to change that. Co-hosts Andrew Lewin and Dr. David Ebert sit with Barbara to discuss her passion for sawfish and the incredible marine diversity in Cairns, Australia. Barbara shares her journey of starting her own organization, Sharks and Rays Australia, to maintain independence and focus on the species she loves most, the sawfish. Shark conservation takes many forms, and Barbara's approach is refreshingly hands-on and community-driven. We dive into the importance of local marine biodiversity, why certain sawfish species are overlooked, and how one marine biologist is making a big impact through education, research, and local collaboration. Whether you're an aspiring marine biologist or a shark enthusiast, this episode will inspire you with its focus on purpose-driven science.

There is a place where the largest and most powerful river in the world meets the Atlantic ocean, and one of the most threatened species of elasmobranch - the largetooth sawfish - finds one of its last refuges on earth. In this episode of World of Sharks, we are joined by shark scientist and conservationist Dr Patricia Charvet, who has dedicated her life to understanding and protecting sharks and rays in her home country of Brazil. We discuss why the Amazonian coast is such a special place, the astounding diversity of sharks and rays that live there, and why Patricia's passion for the weird, wonderful but Critically Endangered sawfish. We also discuss Patricia's current SOSF-funded project (co-led with Dr Vicente Faria), which seeks to confirm the region as one of the last strongholds for this species, and works across fisheries, government and law enforcement agencies to raise awareness and encourage support for sawfish, and tackle the illegal trade of sawfish products.  You can follow Patricia on Instagram (@patricia.charvet, @amazoniancoastsawfish) and X/Twitter (@PatriciaCharve2, @amcoastsawfish).  You can also find out more about her project here: https://saveourseas.com/project/conserving-largetooth-sawfish-on-the-amazonian-coast/ Shownotes: www.saveourseas.com/worldofsharks/podcast

This unusual behavior, observed during the summer, raised concerns among marine biologists and conservationists, particularly because sawfish are already classified as an endangered species. Identification of Toxins Through extensive investigation, researchers discovered that the symptomatic fish had died due to exposure to multiple toxins believed to originate from various species of dinoflagellates, a type of microscopic algae. Under normal conditions, these dinoflagellates reside on seagrass or larger algae on the seafloor. However, an unknown trigger—potentially heat, a storm, or a combination of environmental factors—caused these dinoflagellates to detach from their usual habitats and enter the water column. The Role of Dinoflagellates The specific dinoflagellates identified in this case belong to the genus Gambierdiscus, known for producing a neurotoxin called ciguatoxin. This toxin can lead to ciguatera, a condition in humans characterized by symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, and neurological issues. While researchers were initially concerned about the implications for human health, they found no significant cases of ciguatera reported among those consuming fish from the affected areas. Mechanism of Toxic Exposure Sawfish, which typically inhabit the ocean floor, may have been particularly vulnerable to these toxins. As they swim along the bottom, they use their saw-like rostrum to sift through sediment, potentially disturbing the dinoflagellates and allowing the toxins to enter their gills and accumulate in their livers. This accumulation of toxins likely led to the neurological impacts observed, resulting in the spinning behavior before death. Ongoing Research and Future Implications Despite identifying the presence of multiple toxins and their likely sources, the exact cause of the spinning phenomenon remains unclear. Researchers are still investigating the environmental conditions that led to the dinoflagellates' unusual behavior and the subsequent impact on fish populations. This situation underscores the need for further research to understand the dynamics of harmful algal blooms and their effects on marine life. In response to the crisis, scientists initiated an emergency rescue effort for the critically endangered sawfish in spring 2024. Although the first rescued individual did not survive, the decline in reports of ailing sawfish suggests that the immediate crisis may have passed. However, the potential for future occurrences remains, highlighting the importance of continued monitoring and research to protect these vulnerable species and their habitats. In summary, while scientists have made progress in identifying the toxins responsible for the spinning behavior and deaths of sawfish and other fish, the underlying causes of this phenomenon require further investigation. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for the conservation of endangered species and the health of marine ecosystems. Understanding the Sawfish Phenomenon: A Deep Dive into the Recent Fish Die-Off In the summer of 2023, a concerning phenomenon was observed in Florida waters where sawfish and other fish species were seen spinning in circles before dying. This unusual behavior raised alarms among scientists and conservationists, prompting investigations into the underlying causes. While researchers have identified the complex factors contributing to this behavior, the exact triggers remain elusive. The Role of Dinoflagellates The investigation revealed that the symptomatic fish, including sawfish, died from exposure to multiple toxins, likely originating from various species of dinoflagellates. These microscopic algae typically reside on seagrass or larger algae on the seafloor. However, an unknown driver—potentially heat, storms, or a combination of events—caused these dinoflagellates to leave their usual habitats and enter the water column. This shift is particularly concerning as it can lead to harmful algal blooms, which have significant ecological and health implications. Ciguatoxin and Its Effects A key finding was the presence of elevated levels of dinoflagellates from the genus Gambierdiscus, which produces ciguatoxin, a neurotoxin that can cause ciguatera poisoning in humans who consume contaminated seafood. Although there were no reported cases of ciguatera linked to the fish die-off, the potential risk to human health was a significant concern for researchers. The Impact on Sawfish Sawfish, classified as endangered, were particularly affected by this phenomenon. These flat sharks typically dwell near the ocean floor, where they use their saw-like rostrum to hunt for prey. The disturbance of the seafloor, possibly caused by their own foraging behavior, may have led to the release of the dinoflagellates into the water column. As the sawfish swam along the bottom, they likely ingested the toxins through their gills, resulting in the neurological symptoms that caused them to spin in circles. Emergency Response and Future Preparedness In response to the alarming situation, scientists launched an emergency effort in spring 2024 to rescue critically endangered sawfish affected by the spinning phenomenon. Although the first rescued sawfish did not survive, the number of reported cases began to decline, suggesting that the immediate crisis may have passed. However, researchers are now better equipped to understand the complexities of this issue and are hopeful that future occurrences can be managed more effectively. Ongoing Research and Questions Despite the progress made, many questions remain unanswered. Researchers are still investigating the specific causes of the dinoflagellate bloom and the environmental factors that triggered it. Understanding whether the affected fish were concentrated in specific areas or if the phenomenon was widespread is crucial for future conservation efforts. The need for further research is evident, and scientists are actively working to piece together the puzzle of this unusual fish die-off. Conclusion The recent events surrounding the sawfish and other fish species in Florida highlight the intricate relationships within marine ecosystems and the potential impacts of environmental changes. As researchers continue to study the causes and effects of this phenomenon, it is essential for the public to stay informed and engaged in ocean conservation efforts. By understanding these issues, we can better advocate for the protection of vulnerable species and their habitats. The critically endangered sawfish were particularly affected by the recent phenomenon of spinning behavior and subsequent deaths due to their bottom-dwelling lifestyle. Sawfish, often described as "flat sharks," typically inhabit the seafloor where they align themselves with the substrate. This behavior makes them susceptible to exposure to neurotoxins that may be present in the sediment and water column. During the summer, scientists observed that sawfish and other fish species exhibited unusual spinning behavior before dying. Investigations revealed that this behavior was linked to exposure to multiple toxins, primarily from dinoflagellates, a type of microscopic algae. Under normal conditions, these dinoflagellates reside on seagrass or larger algae on the seafloor. However, an unknown driver—potentially heat, storms, or a combination of environmental factors—caused these dinoflagellates to leave their usual habitats and enter the water column. The sawfish's feeding habits further contributed to their vulnerability. As they swim along the ocean floor, they use their distinctive saw-like rostrum to sift through the substrate, which could disturb the dinoflagellates and release the neurotoxins into the water. This disturbance likely allowed the toxins to enter the gills of the sawfish, leading to the neurological impacts that caused them to spin in circles. Research indicated that the livers of the symptomatic fish were filled with various toxins, including ciguatoxin, produced by the dinoflagellates. While the initial concern was primarily about ciguatoxin due to its implications for human health, it became clear that the issue was more complex, involving a combination of neurotoxins that could affect the fish's behavior. Given that sawfish are already classified as critically endangered, this incident raises significant concerns about their future. Their bottom-dwelling nature means they are more likely to encounter harmful algal blooms and associated toxins. As scientists continue to investigate the causes of this phenomenon, understanding the relationship between the sawfish's habitat, feeding behavior, and exposure to neurotoxins will be crucial for developing effective conservation strategies and mitigating future risks to this vulnerable species. Understanding the Sawfish Phenomenon: A Deep Dive into the Recent Fish Die-Off In the summer of 2023, a concerning phenomenon was observed in Florida waters where sawfish and other fish species were seen spinning in circles before dying. This unusual behavior raised alarms among scientists and conservationists, prompting investigations into the underlying causes. While researchers have identified the complex factors contributing to this behavior, the exact triggers remain elusive. The Role of Dinoflagellates The investigation revealed that the symptomatic fish, including sawfish, died from exposure to multiple toxins, likely originating from various species of dinoflagellates. These microscopic algae typically reside on seagrass or larger algae on the seafloor. However, an unknown driver—potentially heat, storms, or a combination of events—caused these dinoflagellates to leave their usual habitats and enter the water column. Marine scientist Allison Roberts noted the rarity of such occurrences, emphasizing the need for further research to understand the dynamics at play. Notably, the phenomenon was not linked to red tide, a well-known harmful algal bloom, as water quality parameters such as dissolved oxygen, salinity, and pH were within normal ranges. The Discovery of Ciguatoxin A significant breakthrough came from Michael Parsons, a marine ecologist who found elevated levels of seafloor-dwelling dinoflagellates from the genus Gambierdiscus. This genus is known to produce ciguatoxin, a neurotoxin that can cause ciguatera poisoning in humans who consume contaminated seafood. Although there were no reported cases of ciguatera linked to this event, the presence of ciguatoxin in the livers of affected fish raised concerns about human health implications. Interestingly, while the muscles of the symptomatic fish showed minimal toxin levels, their livers were found to be filled with various toxins, indicating that the fish were indeed affected by a cocktail of neurotoxins rather than a single source. Impact on Sawfish Sawfish, classified as endangered, were particularly hard-hit by this phenomenon. These flat sharks typically dwell near the ocean floor, where they use their saw-like rostrum to hunt for prey. The disturbance of the seafloor, possibly caused by their own foraging behavior, may have led to the release of the dinoflagellates into the water column, allowing the toxins to enter their gills and subsequently their livers. In response to the crisis, scientists initiated an emergency rescue effort for the critically endangered sawfish in spring 2024. Although the first rescued sawfish did not survive, the decline in reports of ailing sawfish suggested that the immediate crisis may have subsided. However, researchers are hopeful that with the knowledge gained from this event, they will be better prepared to address similar occurrences in the future. Future Research Directions The episode underscores the importance of ongoing research to unravel the complexities of harmful algal blooms and their impacts on marine life. Questions remain regarding the specific environmental triggers that led to the dinoflagellate bloom and how these toxins affect various fish species. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for the conservation of endangered species like the sawfish and for safeguarding human health. As the scientific community continues to investigate, there is a call for collaboration and communication among researchers, conservationists, and the public to ensure the health of our oceans and the species that inhabit them. In spring 2024, a notable emergency rescue effort was initiated for a distressed sawfish, marking a significant milestone in conservation efforts for this critically endangered species. This initiative was prompted by the alarming phenomenon observed in the summer of 2023, where sawfish and other fish exhibited unusual behavior, such as spinning in circles before dying. This behavior was linked to exposure to multiple toxins, primarily from dinoflagellates, which are a type of microscopic algae. The rescue operation was unprecedented in the United States, highlighting the urgency and importance of protecting the sawfish population. Scientists successfully rescued a distressed sawfish and transported it to the Mote Marine Laboratory, an aquarium located in Sarasota, Florida, for rehabilitation. Unfortunately, despite the efforts made to save the fish, it did not survive. This outcome underscores the challenges faced in the conservation of endangered species, particularly when they are affected by environmental stressors and toxins. Following the rescue, reports of ailing sawfish began to decline, suggesting that the immediate crisis may have subsided. However, the incident raised critical questions about the health of the sawfish population and the environmental factors contributing to their distress. The knowledge gained from this rescue effort is invaluable, as it may better prepare scientists and conservationists for future occurrences of similar phenomena. The rescue also emphasizes the need for ongoing research to understand the causes behind the toxic exposure and the behavior exhibited by the sawfish. Identifying the specific environmental triggers—such as heat, storms, or disturbances in their habitat—will be crucial in developing effective conservation strategies. The hope is that with continued research and monitoring, conservationists can implement measures to protect these vulnerable fish and mitigate the risks posed by harmful algal blooms and other environmental threats. In summary, the emergency rescue of the sawfish in spring 2024 represents a proactive approach to conservation, despite the unfortunate outcome. It serves as a reminder of the complexities involved in marine conservation and the importance of understanding the intricate relationships between marine species and their environments.

Red-headed robins, challenged by the weather, and Oklahoma mythology, including serial killers, mass murders, and werewolves. Imaginative subversion of the terrain. Students are not co-teaching. Two-headed chickens. A homeless freestyle rapper named Big Weiner. And from the notes of Kris Saknussemm: -Rapper 50 Cent, age 48 and trying desperately to look like a cartoon version of someone my students' age, says to his 12 million X followers, “It's almost over,” as in Humanity. This while he's embroiled in collateral flak from the federal investigations of Puff Diddy for sex trafficking, rape, domestic abuse, drugs, guns—the usual. And where did all the playground-sounding names come from? Puff Diddy. Charlemagne Tha God. Megan Thee Stallion. Strange mix of adolescence (if not childishness) and sexual perversion. -Sawfish. Improbable creatures that look like they were designed for sheer novelty. They're somehow going crazy and committing communal suicide in the shallow waters of Florida's beaches. Perhaps a strangely apt metaphor. -Weirdly echoed by parents (particularly white parents) in epidemic numbers seeking professionally certified diagnoses of their kids as being autistic, ADHD, clinically depressed, or neurodivergent. Why? In order to secure more time on tests like the SATs and ACTs. -Meanwhile, Harvard, the jewel brand in the Ivy League (and the pressurized Holy Grail of the test taking frenzy) sees the first drop in applications ever. Antisemitism and plagiarism scandals are credited as causes in the decline. The Harvard Corporation (note that term) has also come under legal fire for DEI discrimination against Asians, artificially promoting underqualified African American applicants—while it's been revealed that a disturbing percentage of white admissions are solely legacy based—children of alumni, faculty, and staff, who are in the main unable to compete outside the nepotism advantage. -On a broader, global scale, scientific experts from many fields debate the concept of the Anthropocene as umbrella label for the current era / epoch. But what no one ignores is that the Human Impact in question is viewed as entirely destructive. And on perhaps the principle of compounding interest, a great deal of the “damage” has occurred since the mid-20thcentury, which mirrors the rise of Environmentalism and green ideologies. Say one thing, do another. This inventory of Dysfunction could go on and on. We know. But like many curious and concerned thinking people today, you and I have talked about the Dysfunction often in terms of mass psychosis. A spiritual, psychological vortex-disease on the Cultural scale. I now wonder if the truth isn't conceptually much simpler. Let's take our sawfish death spiral despair as the emblematic end result of the ambient, atmospheric Dysfunction. If 50 Cent says world doom is at hand, what hope do sawfish have? Talk about a marginalized community. But what links these other crises (and so many more)? I'm coming around to viewing the “problem” as a fundamental collapse / erosion of Morality. Morale. Moral. How often do we connect those two notions? Are our problems today really all that complicated? Don't they in fact amount to people knowing what the right thing to do is and not doing it? Each of the above examples from recent news is about a failure of moral conscience and basic decency. Perversion arises from selfishness. We can break down or address each of these issues (selected from far too many others) in almost child-level moral terms. Many people (particularly NPR followers) now embody a genuine hatred of Humanity for our environmental destruction. Does this mean they're trying to live and consume more sensibly and sensitively? Nope. For the most part, they just complain about what governments and corporations are doing or not, while they go on consuming like it's 1999 or 1979. Ivy League schools, and now so many downstream schools, companies, and government departments know that DEI policies are inherently unfair, divisive, and illogical. Racism in the name of combatting racism? Victimology in the supposed service of reducing victimization? Doesn't work. Can't work. At the same time, admitting mediocre white candidates because of legacy loyalty is actually an advertisement of total failure in the institution's nurture of academic and intellectual excellence. How is it that legacy applicants are mediocre if Harvard is such an incubator of brilliance and achievement?  All of this is just disingenuous maneuvering for personal, political, and identity politics gain. It's in the realm of lying and cheating—basic morality. Nothing complex or clever about it. Same with parents (especially parents of underachieving white children) pleading to psychologists to designate their kids as Special Needs. Work the System, milk the System. Everybody else is. Could it be that our core problem at this point in history isn't nearly as interesting as technological mass delusion or a giant masquerade festival of psychosis? What if it's just moral sloth, devious self-interest, and everyday spinelessness? What if, as a Cultural community, we said, “Man up and try to be the best, humble, heroic leader in your house and in your neighborhood that you can be. There's honor in that. And you'll live longer.” Black millionaire and billionaire celebrities aren't doing black people at large any good. More black teachers, social workers, professionals, skilled tradespeople, and small business operators would. What if we eliminated all legacy advantage across the board? Radical individual meritocracy, as in sports? What if our activism regarding complaints and protest against corporations and governments turned to activism in our own habits and purchasing behaviors? What if we could tell the truth to each other? A good example might be: yes, there are key levels of society where females need to be encouraged and “empowered,” but there are also many levels where they wield far too much power. We need to bring back Morality and Ethics as essential…completely transcendent of any Right / Conservative frame, or Leftist rebellion. Hypnosis and Hysteria are more exciting than Hypocrisy—but mundane Hamburger Helper level hypocrisy is creating an Hypocracy. No, it's not nearly as cool a calamity as mass hallucination and simulated Matrix realities. It's really just Laziness Hard at Work. And as to the Left's exhaustingly shrill and repeated claim that Morality and Ethics can only enter in when the “playing field is level,” that's not a social belief system or program of coherent public policy—it's a secular religious mania that's so clearly not working as social program, only more mania will do. To me, the mania isn't as intriguing as I'd hope. More and more, it seems purely pathetic.

Protected under the Endangered Species Act since 2003, the sawfish are experiencing unprecedented mortality rates due to this unknown culprit. Conservation efforts are crucial to prevent potential catastrophic consequences. The small tooth sawfish, the first marine fish to receive federal protection under the Endangered Species Act, has been slowly recovering thanks to conservation efforts. However, recent reports of sawfish spinning in circles and dying have raised concerns among marine biologists and conservationists. The entire U.S. population of sawfish relies on Florida, particularly the Florida Keys, as a critical habitat. The urgency of the situation stems from the risk of losing a significant number of these animals, potentially undoing decades of conservation progress. Collaborative rescue initiatives involving private aquariums, nonprofits, and government agencies like NOAA Fisheries are working diligently to capture and provide care for the affected sawfish. The cause of the mysterious fish ailment affecting the sawfish population is still under investigation. Possible factors such as elevated sea temperatures, water quality issues, parasites, or other environmental stressors could be contributing to the mortality of these endangered species. The rescue efforts involve monitoring hotlines, blood samples, tagging, and capturing the affected sawfish to provide them with care in controlled environments until the issue is resolved. Conservation efforts for the small tooth sawfish are crucial to prevent further decline in their population and potential extinction. The collaborative efforts of various organizations and experts highlight the importance of protecting and preserving endangered species like the small tooth sawfish to maintain the biodiversity and health of marine ecosystems. Elevated sea temperatures and poor water quality are likely contributing factors to the recent deaths of multiple fish species in Florida, including the small tooth sawfish. The episode highlights the concerning situation where these sawfish are exhibiting unusual behavior, spinning in circles before succumbing to a mysterious ailment. This behavior is not isolated to the sawfish, as a total of 57 species in Florida have displayed similar spinning behavior since November 2023. The episode discusses the potential causes of these deaths, pointing towards factors such as elevated sea temperatures and poor water quality. Florida has experienced record-high sea temperatures, exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit, which can stress marine species and make them more susceptible to diseases. Additionally, the presence of harmful microscopic organisms like dinoflagellates or bacteria in the water could be contributing to the decline in fish populations. The impact of these deaths extends beyond the immediate loss of individual fish. The small tooth sawfish, an endangered species, plays a crucial role in the ecosystem, and conservation efforts have been successful in slowly rebuilding their population. However, events like these mass deaths could reverse decades of conservation progress and have catastrophic consequences for the species. Efforts are underway to rescue affected fish species, including the small tooth sawfish, by capturing them and bringing them into captivity for monitoring and care. Water quality samples are being taken to investigate the cause of these deaths and to prevent future occurrences. The episode emphasizes the importance of addressing the root causes of these events, such as elevated sea temperatures and poor water quality, to protect marine species and their habitats in Florida.

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to learn about an amazing fish suggested by Murilo. It's the sawfish, and while we're at it, we're also going to learn about a different fish called the sawshark. There are five species of sawfish alive today in two genera, and they're all big. The smallest species can still grow over 10 feet long, or 3 meters, while the biggest species can grow over 20 feet long, or 6 meters. The largest sawfish ever reliably measured was 24 feet long, or 7.3 meters. Since all species of sawfish are endangered due to overfishing, pollution, and habitat loss, really big individuals are much rarer these days. The sawfish lives mostly in warm, shallow ocean waters, usually where the bottom is muddy or sandy. It can also tolerate brackish and even freshwater, and will sometimes swim into rivers and live there just fine. The largetooth sawfish is especially happy in freshwater. Let's talk specifically about the largetooth sawfish for a moment, since we know the most about it. Like other sawfish, the female gives birth to live young, up to 13 babies at a time, and the babies can be up to three feet long at birth, or 90 cm. When a baby is born, its saw, which we'll talk about in a minute, is covered with a jelly-like sheath that keeps it from hurting its mother. The sheath dissolves soon after birth. The mother usually gives birth around the mouth of a river, and instead of swimming into the ocean, the babies swim upstream into the river. They live there for the next several years, and some individuals and even some populations may live their whole lives in the river. It's sometimes called the river sawfish or the freshwater sawfish for this reason. One interesting thing about the largetooth sawfish is how agile it is. All sawfish are good swimmers, but the largetooth sawfish is especially good. It can swim backwards, it can jump more than twice its own length out of the water, and it can climb over rocks and other obstacles using its fins, even if the obstacle isn't completely submerged. It's possible that other species of sawfish can do the same, but scientists just haven't observed this behavior yet. We actually don't know that much about most species of sawfish because of how rare they've become. The sawfish is a type of ray, and rays are most closely related to sharks. Like sharks, rays have an internal skeleton made of cartilage instead of bone, but they also have bony teeth. You can definitely see the similarity between sharks and sawfish in the body shape although the sawfish is flattened underneath, which allows it to lie on the ocean floor. There's also another detail that helps you tell a sawfish from a shark: the rostrum, or snout. It's surprisingly long and studded with teeth on both sides, which makes it look like a saw. The teeth on the sawfish's saw are actual teeth. They're called rostral teeth and the rostrum itself is part of the skull, not a beak or a mouth. It's covered in skin just like the rest of the body. The sawfish's mouth is located underneath the body quite a bit back from the rostrum's base,

Mensen worden over het algemeen niet geassocieerd met schubben, maar daar moeten we volgens een onderzoek naar tanden anders over na gaan denken.  Hoe zijn tanden namelijk ooit ontstaan? Tanden die ervoor zorgden dat je als dier ineens beter prooien of planten vast kon pakken en ze ook nog eens makkelijker in stukjes kon krijgen. Het begon volgens onderzoekers allemaal bij één soort vis. De voorouder van alle dieren met tanden.   Maar dan nog: hoe zijn die tanden dan ooit ontstaan? Volgens één theorie zijn schubben aan de buitenkant van de vis gemigreerd naar de binnenkant van de mond. Een andere bekijkt het andersom: net als bij het weefsel van kieuwen moeten tanden van binnenuit zijn ontstaan.   In deze nieuwe studie is gekeken naar de zaagvis, om duidelijk te krijgen welke theorie het beste past. Onderzoekers bestudeerden 70 miljoen jaar oude fossielen van een uitgestorven zaagvissoort. Specifiek keken ze naar de puntige uitsteeksels op de neus van het dier, de reden waarom het woord zaag in de naam voorkomt. Die puntige uitsteeksels worden vaak tanden genoemd, maar zijn eigenlijk gespecialiseerde schubben.   Toen ze de structuur van de buitenste laag van deze schubben bekeken met een microscoop zagen ze tot hun verbazing dat deze structuur behoorlijk veel wegheeft van moderne haaientanden. Nou hebben zwaardvissen naast deze schubben ook al echte tanden gehad, dus bij dit dier zijn ze niet van plek gewisseld, maar het laat wel zien dat schubachtige structuren zich prima kunnen ontwikkelen tot tand-achtige structuren. Een plusje voor de ‘van buiten naar binnen'-theorie dus. Denk er maar eens aan, de volgende keer dat je je schubben staat te schrobben.

A commercial fishing boat will soon leave Darwin, tasked with catching an endangered species.

In this episode Jasmin Graham talks to Anders Halverson about her research on the ecology, movement, and range of smalltooth sawfish, one of Florida's  critically endangered species. We then discuss the reasons Jasmin became a fisheries scientist and the work as the President, CEO, and co-founder of Minorities In Shark Sciences (MISS). Since different perspectives and voices drive the most innovative and impactful scientific research as well as the best natural resource management, how can the fisheries community recruit and retain a diverse pool of talent?

This week we go abroad to Sri Lanka with conservation expert Akshay Tanna! We discuss his article, "Where have all the sawfishes gone? Perspectives on declines of these Critically Endangered species in Sri Lanka" by Tanna et al. 2021. Akshay and his colleagues use critical historical knowledge from local fishers. This knowledge is often referred to as "Fishers Ecological Knowledge", or FEK. This knowledge that Tanna and colleagues gathered allows them to identify 2 distinct species of sawfishes that historically visited Sri Lanka, and evaluate the specific point in history when sawfish sightings drastically decreased. This critical knowledge that Tanna and colleagues at Blue Resources Trust have conducted is just the beginning of the many incredible conservation evaluations they are leading in Sri Lanka.

Southern Florida has been seeing more of a fish that had just about vanished from its coastline. Most of the rest of the world, though, has been seeing less of it. And without some urgent action, before too long they might not see it at all.The sawfish is one of the most distinctive creatures in the oceans. It's a type of ray. It has a long, flat snout -- called a rostrum -- that's lined with “teeth” that jut out to the sides. The rostrum and head are coated with sensors that detect the motion of prey. Once it finds a potential meal, the sawfish slaps the prey with the rostrum to stun it.There are five species of sawfish. They're found mainly in warmer waters in several parts of the world. But they're vanishing. One study found that they've disappeared from 55 of the 90 countries where they were seen just a few decades ago. And according to some estimates, the population has been slashed by 95 percent. A study warned that without immediate action, the sawfish could disappear completely in a few decades.In the U.S., sawfish were common from Texas to the Carolinas. Today, though, they're seen almost exclusively around Florida. They were done in by overfishing, accidental snagging in nets, and loss of habitat.But the U.S. put sawfish on the endangered species list a couple of decades ago. Conservation efforts appear to be helping the lone species still seen in American waters to rebuild -- leading to more sightings on the Florida coast.

What the heck is a sawfish and why have I never seen or heard of one before?  These are questions that I had the first time I ever heard of this prehistoric looking animal.  Tonya Wiley didn't grow up knowing she would play such a vital role in saving sawfish, but an early introduction into the saltwater environment sparked a passion for conservation that can still be seen today even as we record this podcast.  Working in the fisheries field for over 20 years, Tonya is one of the leading experts in the world on sawfish.  And in this episode, you'll learn about the two species that once lived in relative abundance until commercial fishing and the absence of any real conservation measures drove one of the species to extinction and the other to be found in very limited numbers in a small area.  Tonya is helping lead the way in sawfish research and helping us understand how we can save not only sawfish but other species that are being threatened even today due to lack of knowledge and regulations.   Follow Tonya and all that she is doing on her website and her social media channels to stay up to date and to find ways you can help in this research! www.havenworth.org Facebook @HavenworthCoastalConservation Instagram/Twitter @coastalelasmos Check out this great Sawfish Recovery Video: https://youtu.be/NSRWUjVU3e8

There are five species of Sawfish around the world, and all are now considered endangered. Only the Smalltooth Sawfish can still be found along Florida's coastlines and backcountry, but don't let their name fool you. The Smalltooth Sawfish measures up to five meters in length, can weigh as much as 400 kilos, and it's bill or rostrum can measure over a meter in length. We may have turned the corner on the Smalltooth's demise, but there's still work to do to ensure the full recovery of these apex predators. Listen this week on Blue fish Radio as we speak with Adam Brame of NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service and Coordinator of the Sawfish recovery program.

Dr. Kevin Feldheim is interested in shark sex. Okay, shark reproduction. Like most vertebrates, sharks and their relatives reproduce sexually-- but while studying critically endangered sawfish (a very cool, very threatened cartilaginous fish), Kevin and his colleagues discovered something shocking: the female fish had given birth to clones, without having mated. It was the first time this phenomena had been studied in the wild for this species. Listen to hear the rest of the story.  Read the paper here: Facultative parthenogenesis in a critically endangered wild vertebrate, from Current Biology. Learn more about the Daniel F. and Ada L.
