Sawfish Research

Elasmobranchs (sharks, rays, and sawfishes) have brains that are evolving differently compared to other vertebrates. This project studies the brains of endangered smalltooth sawfish to understand how their brain development impacts their behavior. Researchers will use advanced imaging techniques to compare healthy and diseased specimens, which could reveal new insights into the species’ behavior and help with their conservation.
