We recently caught, tagged, and released THREE endangered smalltooth sawfish inside #TampaBay! Learn more in the latest #SawfishNews article in The Fishing Wire at thefishingwire.com/sawfish-n…

All #Sawfish are Critically Endangered/Endangered & listed on #CITES Appendix I. PhD student @AMFearing is collecting tissues from old sawfish saws from #museums & private collections, with support from numerous collaborators around the world. #RhinoRay #SharkAwarenessDay

Our #genetic research on Largetooth #Sawfish highlights the importance of securing populations in the E Pac/Atlantic to conserve this genetically distinct lineage. Through local collaborators, we are supporting #eDNA surveys for this elusive species in these regions. #RhinoRay

Looking for a needle in a haystack requires the most advanced technology available, so we designed a novel #ddPCR #eDNA assay for Largetooth #Sawfish. What makes this different to qPCR or metabarcoding approaches? ddPCR can detect just 1 copy of target DNA in a water sample!

Come see us at the @MS_aquarium this weekend for #SharkWeek! Together with @USMSharkLab we will have fun activities for all ages to learn about #sharks, rays, & #sawfish!

Happy #WorldOceansDay! This year's theme is putting the ocean first and @HuberArteMarinh has done just that by completing Brazil's largest marine life theme mural including this spectacular #sawfish! Thanks for sharing your #sawfishluv!

Incredible #PhD opportunity for Australian/New Zealand citizens investigating bycatch mitigation measures for sharks and #sawfish and assessing sawfish movement patterns following release after capture. Visit the link for details!

Could you get a nice genome assembly from a sample left out at room temp. for 1.5 months?
Yes!
🐠🩸 stored in 95% EtOH at 22°C for 6 weeks yielded 14 Mb N50 & 97% BUSCO from 34X coverage @nanopore sequencing [with short fragment eliminator (SFE) kit].

Baby sawfish develop their little face saw with needle-like teeth in utero. So how do they keep from slicing and dicing their mom and siblings in the womb? They have a built-in pocket protector: Teeth are safely encased in a sheath of tissue that sheds a few days after birth.

Smalltooth #sawfish have a biennial reproductive cycle, meaning they give birth every other year. Adult females exhibit parturition site fidelity, returning to the same nursery site(s) to deliver their young. Visit our website to learn more about sawfish!

Congrats to @sagittariusarah! They presented their #research on #guitarfish #eDNA at their first conference this weekend & killed it, bringing home the best poster award in Coastal & #Marine Sciences! Can’t wait to see what you do next @MoteMarineLab this summer!

Sequencing at sea ✅
High fives all round 🙏🏻
Several expeditions later, this still amazes me. Incredible to have led this work with a stellar team
@DNAussie_ @AyadMarcelle
A NextSeq 2000 on a boat? You read that right—the OceanOmics team at the @Minderoo Foundation is sequencing eDNA at sea, off the coast of Western Australia, to conserve marine biodiversity and protect our oceans. More on our partnership: bit.ly/3Lkx9o1 #EarthDay

All species of #sawfish are listed as #Endangered or #CriticallyEndangered by @IUCNRedList, but there are many ways you can help support #sawfishconservation efforts. Learn more by visiting our website sawfishconservationsociety.o….
