(OK, google is not helpful about the Orange Roughy and just gives recipes for the "delicious" fish. They found this fish on seamounts, which are mountains in the middle of the sea, which are like oasises of life in the desert. Vast shoals of Orange Roughy congregate at them. Orange Roughy lives for ~70 (possibly up to 150) years, and has a very slow reproductive cycle, few eggs, and don't become mature until age 20. The fisheries decide to catch these by bottom dredging - dragging a huge metal-bottomed net along the sea floor, which scrapes up and kills everything that get caught in it.

It's absolutely sickening - the Orange Roughy is fast becoming extinct, as are millions of other species on the seamounts. To eat a fish that lives to be 125 years old! They only discovered the fish about 25 years ago! And it's nearly extinct!

Last I checked Marine Science, everyone was fairly agreed that the world's seas will be dead within 50 years.

GOd, I forgot how ranty I get about fish... (<has degree in Marine Biology)
