5-Year Review of the Tanzanian Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of African Coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae)

As required under 50 CFR 424.21, we announced initiation of the 5-year review in the Federal Register (FR) and solicited relevant information (89 FR 72379; September 5, 2024). We specifically requested information that has become available since we listed the DPS in 2016. We did not receive any relevant information during the 60-day comment period. We used scientific publication search tools to identify relevant information available since the completion of the 2014 status review. The NOAA Library performed and documented a systematic search across major bibliographic resources, including organizational websites and literature repositories. The library provided an extensive digital library of the full-text literature. We reviewed and evaluated this literature and other available data (cited herein) in conducting this status review.
