SGER: Workshop on Global Priorities for Coelacanth Research and Conservation in the 21st Century in Indonesia on October 23-27, 2000.

该项目将支持21世纪腔棘鱼研究和保护全球优先事项讲习班。 研讨会将汇集专家，政策制定者，保护主义者和腔棘鱼生物学的积极研究人员，以量化腔棘鱼生物学的知识现状，并确保这些古老鱼类的持续生存。 腔棘鱼被认为已经灭绝了数百万年，1938年偶然发现的腔棘鱼引起了人们对它们生物学的大量研究和兴趣。 最近，在印度尼西亚沃茨发现了一个非常意外的新物种，这引发了许多关于地理范围、扩散、基因流和物种形成的研究问题。 讲习班的成果将在网上公布，并印制成册。

This project will support a Workshop on Global Priorities for Coelacanth Research and Conservation for the 21st Century. The workshop will bring together experts, policy makers, conservationists, and active researchers on coelacanth biology for the purpose of quantifying the present state of knowledge of coelacanth biology, and ensuring the continued survival of these ancient fish. Thought to have been extinct for millions of years, the chance discovery of coelacanths in 1938 has focused much research and interest on their biology. A recent, highly unexpected finding of a new species in Indonesian waters has prompted numerous research questions regarding geographic range, dispersal, gene flow, and speciation. The workshop results will be made available on the web, and in a printed volume.
