What is the meaning of "prehistoric fish"?

I found the following sentence in a BBC article. The document is about a fish specie which has been lived for millions of years. That's mean they haven't been extinct yet. Therefore, I would be grateful if someone could explain me why they use "prehistoric fish" to refer this this.


In addition, is "a fish specie" a correct phrase? The main reason for this question is that while I was writing this question I found a dilemma to decide whether I should use "a" or not as "fish" is a uncountable noun.


Together with biologist Nicolae Craciun and several others, he drafted an action plan to save the prehistoric fish.
