what a load of shit, those fish have been around since the dinosaurs and now a bunch of greenies think they know better than the actual fishermen. get stuffed.

lol okay greenie go touch grass

Leo McKenzie2026-07-02T20:03:50.000Z

ffs it's a slow-growing fish. common sense says don't overfish it. but nah let's just argue on facebook instead

Sam North2026-07-02T19:29:50.000Z

gotta love people who have never stepped on a boat telling us how to do our jobs. orange roughy stocks are fine, the quota system works if they'd leave it alone 🙄

Aria Wilson2026-07-02T19:38:50.000Z

yeah nah mate, they're not fine. have you seen the bycatch numbers?

Aria Wilson2026-07-02T19:41:50.000Z

actually the studies show orange roughy can live over 100 years and reproduce super slowly. maybe we should let them recover before we fish them to nothing? just a thought

exactly, if we don't protect them now there'll be nothing left

Sam North2026-07-02T20:16:50.000Z

get off your high horse. you wanna pay $50 for a piece of fish? didn't think so

Drew Parker2026-07-02T19:57:50.000Z

tbh I just want to know if orange roughy is still okay to buy at the supermarket or not. prices are already mental enough

Leo McKenzie2026-07-02T20:20:50.000Z

who even eats orange roughy anymore? all the decent fish is too expensive. council should focus on something that actually matters.

Alex Rivera2026-07-02T20:31:50.000Z

good on the environmental group for standing up for our oceans. we've got to leave something for our kids.

Noah Bennett2026-07-02T20:44:50.000Z

courts and scientists vs industry lobbyists... wonder who'll win. spoiler: it's the one with deeper pockets

Noah Bennett2026-07-02T20:54:50.000Z

facts. follow the money and u find the real reason for the quota fights

Mia Carter2026-07-02T21:00:50.000Z

Stuff2026-07-02T21:25:50.000Z

Drew Parker2026-07-02T21:54:50.000Z
