There are only two species of this fish surviving, the West Indian ocean Coelacanth and the Indonesian Coelacanth. (It was thought to have been extinct for 65 million years.)

Both species are endangered. Losses occur when they are caught accidentally (they are not good eating) but specimens now are no longer thrown back, but are kept to be sold to scientists and museums!
