Following years of decline, a 13-foot female sawfish was captured off the coast of Cedar Key, giving researchers high hopes for a comeback for the species.

It's been 20 years since the last smalltooth sawfish became the first native marine fish listed in the Endangered Species Act, Florida Museum shared in a new report. It came after decades of decline in the sawfish population due to habitat loss, over-harvesting and mortality as fisheries bycatch.
 



"The sawfish was caught, tagged and released June 6 during an annual shark field course co-taught by Dean Grubbs, the associate director of research at Florida State University’s Coastal and Marine Laboratory and a member of the U.S. Smalltooth Sawfish Recovery Implementation Team; and by Gavin Naylor, director of the Florida Museum of Natural History’s shark research program," Florida Museum reported.
