“Sawfish are very talented predators, their talents leave them very vulnerable to net fisheries,” says Martin. “Their saw is adept at finding prey but is at a high risk of entanglement, which unfortunately means they’re attracted to fisheries’ nets full of fish which they easily get caught in…” Aquarist Martin Garwood from Sydney Aquarium
