The coelacanth is considered a rare fish, with only a few known populations existing today. Once thought to be extinct for about 66 million years, it was rediscovered off the coast of South Africa in 1938. Since then, sightings and captures have been infrequent, and it is classified as a vulnerable species due to its limited geographic range and low reproductive rate. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect this ancient lineage of fish.
