“…Erdmann et al (1999) photographed the swimming posture of a L. menadoensis that was caught as by-catch of local fisherman, but was still alive. The Indonesian coelacanth was genetically determined to be a separate species with at least 2 genetically separate populations (Holder et al, 1999;Kadarusman et al, 2020), and the Indonesian and East African species appear to have diverged about 30-40 million years ago (Inoue et al, 2005).
