Orange roughy Hoplostethus atlanticus (Also called sea perch, orange ruff, and a few others. Known as slimeheads and redfish in some other countries) In Australia, orange roughy have been massively overfished in the past. But in 2006 they were placed on ‘conservation dependent’ status. Which means in most places targeted fishing is prohibited and only a small amount of incidental catch is allowable. They are trawl caught mostly, between 500-1400 metres Deep! The water at these depths is 4-7*celc
