I believe it is also critically endangered. I think it would be tough to keep one healthy accept in a public aquarium, nevermind the legality issues.

I had the opportunity of getting one back in the 70s. But sanity prevailed since I not only didn't have anything to house a 16ft adult, I also didn't have the $15,000.00 asking (wholesale) price.

Actually, the smallest sawfish species is the Dwarf sawfish (Pristis clavata). It reaches about 4 1/2 feet. However, this is NOT considered a "FW" species. Plus, it's an australian species so, good luck in getting permission to have one exported.
