Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology Marine; freshwater; brackish; benthopelagic; amphidromous (Ref. 51243 ); depth range 0 - 40 m (Ref. 9859 ), usually ? - 40 m (Ref. 55270 ). Tropical; 43°N - 20°S, 30°E - 160°E (Ref. 114953 ) Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri Indo-West Pacific: widespread, Red Sea to eastern Australia, north to Japan. Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age Maturity: L m 264.0 , range 246 - 282 cm Max length : 470 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 9859 ) Short description Morphology | Morphometrics Greyish above, pale below; fins usually pale. Body shark-like, pectoral fins distinct; head flattened, with a blade-like snout bearing 18-22 pairs of lateral teeth; blade slender, not tapering distally. Nostrils very narrow with small nasal flaps. Rostral teeth short, flattened, broadly triangular, lacking a groove along posterior margins; no teeth on basal quarter of blade. Adults with widely spaced denticles, young with naked skin. Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) Found inshore, often in river deltas and estuaries; penetration well up rivers needs confirmation (Ref. 9859 ). Common in sheltered bays with sandy bottoms. More active swimmer than other sawfishes (Ref. 114953 ). Feeds on small fish, cuttlefish (Ref. 9859 ) and small benthic invertebrates such as prawns (Ref. 114953 ). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 50449 ). Most fecund sawfish, reported to reach sexual maturity at 2-3 years (Ref. 114953 ). Females have litters of approximately 12 pups (Ref. 114953 ). Generally harmless but its saw-like snout may cause serious injury when caught: it is known thrash violently and vigorously (Ref. 9859 ). Caught for its flesh and liver (which is rich in oil) in some parts of Asia (Ref. 6871 ). Maximum lengths of up to 610 cm TL are based on unconfirmed reports (Ref. 9859 ). Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae Ovoviviparous. Litter size from 6 to 23, young born in the spring (Ref. 9859 ).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 1.0078   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00198 - 0.01270), b=3.05 (2.83 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  4.5   ±0.62 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Fec assumed to be <100). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Very high vulnerability (90 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Medium .
