  Sawfish  \Saw"fish`\,  n.  (Zo["o]l.) 
  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.  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.
