Illustrated Orange Roughy as letterhead From the depths of the Orange Roughy Campaign Statement The Orange Roughy campaign o-fish-ally welcomes Jono Ridler to the Fish of the Year race. While his entry is... unconventional, we believe his presence brings vital attention to the devastating impacts of bottom trawling, a cause we hold very deep in our hearts. However, we have a few key observations: * Classification: While we admire Mr. Ridler's endurance, the science is clear: he is a mammal, not a fish. If the criteria for "Fish of the Year" now includes those with lungs and a penchant for milk, the goalposts have shifted significantly. * A Level Playing Field: If mammals are now eligible, it is only fair to extend an immediate invitation to Mr. Ridler's cousins, the whales and dolphins. They have before been excluded based on their mammalian classification; fairness dictates they be allowed to dive into the ballot. * The Anti-Trawling Voting Bloc: Specifically, the Hector’s and Maui dolphins would deserve a seat at the table. Like us, they are frequent victims of bottom trawling nets and would be powerful allies in a visible and growing voting bloc dedicated to protecting our oceans. We welcome healthy competition and conversation. May the best candidate win. Sincerely, Team Orange Roughy 11th March 2026
O-fish-al statement from the Orange Roughy team in response to Jono Ridler's candidacy for Fish of the Year.
Vote for Orange Roughy (a true fish for the centuries) before voting closes on March 15th.

Orange roughy is on a mission to reproduce and recover their population, but it is not true that there's always plenty of fish in the sea, especially when bottom trawling has decimated your species

Why I need your vote « Bottom trawling is destroying my home * My numbers are severely depleted * I cannot recover fast enough Graph showing declining numbers of reported roughy catcn and allowable catch. Current levels are a fraction of the original ones. And the trend is downwards. Graph from newsroom.
"I've lived in the deep sea for over 200 years.
Bottom trawling is destroying my coral garden home 🪸.
Most of my friends are gone 😢
My numbers are dwindling, and I cannot recover fast enough."
Poor Orange Roughy!
Your vote can help it be seen.

Orange Roughy is their common name today. But they have had many names over the years!

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!

With everything (terrible and not so much) that is going on, one thing is clear: Democracy is important.
So let's focus on the one democratic process we can all agree is fun and enjoyable, and where the candidates are pretty cool and trustworthy.

A very simple line drawing, done by a young kid. A seamount in the bottom of the ocean is being bottom trawled by a huge net that has caught one of the fish swimming around it (orange roughy). There's a crab hiding in a crevice underneath and some coral growing on top, next to it a happy looking octopus hovers.
The Little One is also #teamOrangeRoughy and has done this informative illustration of the danger of bottom trawling the biodiverse seamounts.
They asked me to show it to people and remind you to #ProtectTheOcean and vote Orange Roughy for Fish of the Year […]
