Your #OrangeRoughy fun fact of the day:
These fish live very slow paced lives. They only start reproducing after they reach between 20 - 30 years of age and scientist believe they are fully sexually mature when they reach about 70 years!
This is one of the main reasons their population recovery is so slow, and they are highly vulnerable to bottom trawling.
Vote for these chilled out, long-lived friends in the deep for Fish of the Year 2026! π πͺΈ
