FYI, some years ago the second coelacanth species had been discovered, healthy and in abundant numbers, on the fish market of the city of Manado. It's called Latimeria manadoensis. The local fishermen there appears to have regularly caught the second living fossil fish without knowing its importance. Luckily a scientist who's on honeymoon there spotted the fish and described it as a new species of Latimeria.

I've just gotten down to this one, and I thought I'd give it a bump, as being of historical interest.
