Orange roughy gets protection

[Ang]

I didnt know what Orange Roughy even looked like (alive)

I typed the name into yahoo images and its pretty sad that the first zillion pages only show dead fish or filets.
No live Orange Roughy swimming around.

thats probably because they are a deep water fish and i doubt they would survive in an aquaria, and its hard to take pics of fish in deap water

HAAAAAAAAAAAAA if you think that commercially breeding tuna is the answer your nuts... u really think the millions of tonnes of tuna people across the globe eat each year is all raised commercially? no way in hell.... I dont eat any Fish or SHELLFISH products, not becuase i am necessarily a save the whales person but becuase its gross and i think im allergic, i always puke, even if it just smells like fish around.. But the ocean is die'ing and I am very happy to see the governments across the world are trying to prevent many different species form becoming extinct. I want my kids someday to be able to take me fishing when im an old man... An the rate the world is fished now... only thing left ot catch will be bouys, and lobster traps.... CATCH N RELEASE!! IS THE ANSWER... DONT EAT FISH!

sry to preach, but the poooor fish...

OBVIOUSLY ALL THE MILLIONS OF TONNES OF TUNA AREN"T RAISED COMERCIALLY!! Thats the problem, people are illegally overfishing them. Yeah i think comercially breeding tuna and other fish is the answer. However this will only work if people arent fishing ilegally, or catching more than their quota. If everybody followed the rules fishing would be sustainable, but there are contries where there knowingly fishing illegally, and are stuffing it up!!!
