During the November 2010 expedition, scientists from Fukushima Aquarium in Japan, in cooperation with the Sam Ratulangi University in Manado were able to locate and film 5 coelacanths (in three dives) in Indonesia. With the ROV they traced these coelacanths close to the Island Biak (Papua/Indonesia), about 1800km more east than the previous dive locations around Manado (North-Sulawesi) (Rik Nulens, pers.comm. 12/2010). |
