I have been studying sawfish in South America since 1998 and over these years received lots of sawfish parts donations from Brazilian fishers by asking them to provide samples that would help towards improving their management and conservation. The study in collaboration with Jens Hegg (microchemistry), Annmarie, Nicole and Vanessa (genetics) will certainly be extremely valuable to better understand biology, habitat use, and population structure of sawfish, therefore contributing to their conservation in Brazil.
