Hon EUGENIE SAGE (Green): Tēnā koe. The Minister will be aware that orange roughy is one of the species targeted by New Zealand bottom trawling vessels fishing in the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management area. Like other deep-sea species, orange roughy are long-lived, living up to 120 or 130 years. They're slow growing, they mature late, and that makes the species very vulnerable to over-fishing, and catches have certainly crashed since the 1980s because of over-fishing.
