Environmental DNA detects Critically Endangered largetooth sawfish in the wild (2016, background): “…could also be developed for other sawfish species that have also declined in range and abundance, and face similar conservation challenges (Simpfendorfer 2000, Morgan et al. 2011, Dulvy et al. 2016), or indeed threatened elasmobranchs more generally (Dulvy et al. 2014). eDNA surveys will…”
Distribution of sawfishes (Pristidae) in the Queensland Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia, with notes on sawfish ecology (2005, methodology): “These concerns have been expressed by a number of authors (Thorson 1982a, b, Tanaka 1991, Compagno & Cook 1995, Zorzi 1995, Simpfendorfer 2000).”
conservation of freshwater and euryhaline elasmobranchs: a review (2005, methodology): “More recent assessments by the IUCN Shark Specialist Group indicate that all pristid species are at least vulnerable, with most endangered or critically endangered (Simpfendorfer, 2000; Cavanagh et al., 2003).”
Life Histories and Vulnerability to Exploitation of Elasmobranchs: Inferences from Elasticity, Perturbation and Phylogenetic Analyses (2005, result): “A similar approach to ours was successfully used for analyzing elasticity trends and trade-offs in plant species (Silvertown et al., 1993; Silvertown et al., 1994; but see Shea et al., 1994).”
Ghosts of the coast: global extinction risk and conservation of sawfishes (2016, background): “Second, the characteristic toothed rostrum of sawfishes in combination with their shallow-water distribution, makes them extremely susceptible to entanglement in fishing gear particularly gillnets and trawl nets (Simpfendorfer, 2000; Seitz and Poulakis, 2006).”
The importance of research and public opinion to conservation management of sharks and rays: a synthesis (2011, unknown): “These declines are exacerbated by their life history – slow growth, late maturity and small numbers of young relative to most other aquatic taxa (Musick 1999) – and as a result, populations have less potential to sustain fishing or to recover from depletion than do most teleost fish or invertebrates”
Sustainability of elasmobranchs caught as bycatch in a tropical prawn (shrimp) trawl fishery (2002, background): “They are rarely seen today in areas where they were previously abundant (Simpfendorfer, 2000).”
Freshwater Sawfish Pristis microdon Latham, 1794 (Chondrichthyes : Pristidae) in the Kimberley region of Western Australia (2007, background): “Sawfish populations throughout the world have been decimated by gill net and trawl fisheries due to their susceptibility to entanglement in nets by their rostrum (Simpfendorfer 2000).”
