Coelacanth (Latimeria genus) was first found in an East African fish market (dead). The search was then on until living ones were found. Now there are several species 🙂

Yes, there are. We need to work out their genome and intensify search for more samples for taxonomic studies. I suspect a wonderful clue in the Coelacanths for human metabolic deficiencies.
It is interesting how species can still adapt and exist in spite of all the efforts we make to exterminate Them.
