Thank you.

agree  Marcelo Lino: Por convenção, em Português, na falta de uma característica distintiva, usa-se o nome comum genérico acompanhado do nome científico, sempre grifado ou em itálico: "Peixe-serra (Pristis zisjron)".
54 mins
  -> Obrigado

agree  fvasconcellos: Como indicado pelo Marcelo. É simplesmente uma espécie de peixe-serra (gênero Pristis) sem nome comum em português.

  -> Obrigada Teresa e boa noite

neutral  Marcelo Lino: Boa pesquisa, mas os do gênero Pristis são "peixes-serras" e não "tubarões-serras" que são do gênero Pristiophorus (de outra ordem taxonômica). Desconheço a denominação "peixe-serra africano", já que quase todos são encontrados nas costas da África.
