Description: 
Largetooth Sawfish are a threatened species which has suffered drastic and widespread declines globally. Northern Australia represents a last remaining stronghold, albeit at a reduced population size. The NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub is working on various aspects of the ecology of the Largetooth Sawfish in rivers of the Northern Territory to provide the science needed to aid its management and recovery.
