ANOTHER SPECIES DISCOVERED IN OUR WATERS New sawshark species discovered in PHL January 21, 2014 6:37pm For people who have seen the Jaws movies – or anyone even vaguely aware of what a shark is, for that matter - it’s reasonable to expect that sightings of sharks would be sufficient reason for alarm or even panic. However, this particular shark sighting might actually be welcome news: a new species of sawshark (Pristiophoridae) was recently discovered in Philippine waters. The new species, named Pristiophorus lanae, was identified by scientists from the United States after examining seven specimens captured in Zamboanguita, Apo Island and in Southern Luzon’s Balayan Bay and Ragay Gulf.
