FfFfFfFF 58,070 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 A "fossil" fish can live for an impressively long time - perhaps for up to a century, according to a new study. The coelacanth was thought to have a life span of around 20 years, but new estimates suggest it is a centenarian of the ocean, alongside sharks. They believe the fish reproduces only in late middle age and can be pregnant for as long as five years. Knowing the coelacanth's life history might help to enforce even stronger protection and conservation measures, said Dr Bruno Ernande of the University of Montpellier, France. "One very important framework for conservation measures is to be able to assess the demography of the species," he told BBC News. "With this new information we will be better able to assess it."

But I don't know. For some species the fertilization is external, but for many is not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
