A commercial fisher in the Gulf of Carpentaria releasing a largetooth sawfish that was captured as bycatch during fishing operations. Sawfish are not targeted by commercial fishers, however their toothed rostrum can get badly tangled. CSIRO are working with commercial fishers to collect data on sawfish abundance and survival following release."
