In the winter months, deep in the ocean a delicate romance occurs when the long-lived orange roughy assemble to spawn.

In recent decades, orange roughy stocks have collapsed.

This data could also show that the ethical fishing industry are deliberately sending their boats to places where they know the orange rough don’t live. Thus allowing the orange roughy to recover their numbers where they do live. #nzpol #orangeroughy #notsustainablefishing

"The ship has onboard processing and freezers allowing it to fish in one spot for long periods. It’s billed as the workhorse of a deep-sea fleet owned by Talley’s – one of New Zealand’s largest agribusinesses."

As the article shows, what happens here with orange roughy is being watched by others around the world - due to both the destructive nature of- bottom trawling and the overfishing of orange roughy that has taken place. It's time Aotearoa NZ learns from the past and gets this right. #orangeroughy

Our beloved #Blobfish has been voted the #NZFishoftheYear! Second place went to the #OrangeRoughy, proving people love the #deepsea.

There are 6 days left to have your say on orange roughy and bottom trawling.
Just 8 - 18% of the original orange roughy biomass remains in the the East and South Chatham Rise - an area which has in the past been the source of 40% of global orange roughy catch.

After a deep dive into the highly destructive effects of bottom trawling, our High Court hearing has come to a close!

Our huge thanks to our counsel, experts who provided evidence, and everyone who has shown their support.

From the shallows to the deep, the oceans surrounding Aotearoa are among the most biodiverse on Earth. They are a taonga. They sustain life on our planet. Caring for them is essential.

Next week we’re taking the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries to Court over the highly destructive impacts of bottom trawling.

We will argue that the Minister failed to uphold the law in the management of our orange roughy fisheries.

The lowly blobfish, long recognized as the world’s ugliest animal, has resurfaced this week to win a comelier title: Fish of the Year. #fishoftheyear #blobfish #NewZealand #Psychrolutesmarcidus #MountaintoSea #conservation #orangeroughy

Apropos of that ...

Seems the OrangeRoughy* doesn't know how to spell "Tuffy" either

*A pun based on the name of a type of (very tasty) fish once found in abundance in the seas around New Zealand that has been overfished to bits by massive factory trawlers doing massive factory trawler shit
