  • Rostrum - The rostrum is the name given to the saw-like nose extension found on swordfish and sawfish.

    The body and head of the fish, like the rostrum, are flat and the fish spends much of its time lying on its stomach on the ocean floor. The fish uses the rostrum to slash at their prey, wounding it and allowing the predator to devour it.

    Recent sales in Australia have included some rostrum of over 150 cm in length, but most coming onto the market are 40 - 50 cm.
