The longnose sawshark is found in the eastern Indian Ocean around southern Australia and Tasmania on the continental shelf at depths of 20 - 600m. [4] While it may venture into bays and estuaries on occasion, longnose sawsharks prefer sandy and gravelly areas offshore between 37–146 m (121–479 ft).
The longnose sawshark prefers to swim in both the open sea and coastal regions from the surface to a depth of 600m. [18] The longnose Sawshark is known to mainly prey on small crustaceans. [19] It uses its barbels to detect prey on the ocean floor which it then hits with its snout to immobilize it. [16]
