Abstract

Currently, all the extant batoids species from the family Pristidae are listed as critically endangered and their populations are decreasing. Multiple efforts have been made in Mexico to record the presence of Pristis pectinata and Pristis pristis. This is the first record of a living P. pectinata specimen in Mexico since 2016 and the most recent for the state of Tamaulipas since 1970. Interinstitutional and multidisciplinary attempts to increase research and conservation of sawfishes and their critical habitats must be reinforced.
