Latimeriidae (Gombessa)
Etymology: Latimeria: Taken from Miss Courtenay Latimer worker in the East London Musuem; she contributed to the update of the fish (Coelacanth, Latimeria chalumnae) (Ref. 45335).

Ecologia
marinhas demersal; não migratória, usually 150 - ? m (Ref. 33470). Deep-water; 17°C - 20°C (Ref. 33470)

Max length : 140 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 33470)
Presumably on rocky slopes in deep water of 150-200 m. Fricke et al. (Ref. 33470) observed two specimens of 120 and 140 cm length in a deep carbonate cave at a depth of 155 m (water temp. 17.8-20.1°C).
