Definition von sawfish im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch

a fish having the snout in a saw shape

{n} a fish with a long beak of bone set with teeth

Any one of several species of elasmobranch fishes of the genus Pristis

They have a sharklike form, but are more nearly allied to the rays

primitive ray with sharp teeth on each edge of a long flattened snout

The flattened and much elongated snout has a row of stout toothlike structures inserted along each edge, forming a sawlike organ with which it mutilates or kills its prey

Any of about six species (genus Pristis, family Pristidae) of sharklike ray. Sawfishes have a long head, long body, and a long, toothed, bladelike snout. The largest attain lengths of 23 ft (7 m) or more. These bottom-dwellers inhabit shallow waters of subtropical and tropical bays and estuaries and sometimes swim up rivers. Some live in the freshwaters of Lake Nicaragua. They are not generally dangerous. Their saws are used either to dig out bottom animals or, when lashed about, to kill or maim schooling fishes. Sawfishes are good to eat when small; they are fished in some areas for food, oil, skins, and other products

{i} fish having a long snout and teeth
