Indonesian 'king of the sea' discovered

Article Abstract:

An Indonesian population of coelacanth has been discovered recently, apparently the same species as the coelacanth Latimeria chalumnae from the comoran archipelago in the Indian Ocean. Examination showed that its external morphology is conspecific with L. chalumnae. The discovery has biogeographical and conservation implications, and further expeditions may discover additional populations.
