Orange roughy declared threatened species - 9 November
Orange roughy is set to be the first commercially harvested fish to be added to Australia's threatened species list, to protect it from over-fishing.
The Federal Government says scientific advice indicates orange roughy is under considerable pressure and needs protection to try to secure its long-term survival.
Huge catches of orange roughy were made during the 1980s, before the stocks were given some protection.
The Environment Minister, Ian Campbell, says catch limits will be set at levels that will conserve the species.
"Orange Roughy is the first commercially harvested fish to be listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999," he said.

Geeks Underwater
by Samurai
- What happens when 5 landlubber geeks go diving at one of the worlds most beautiful dive locations? Lots of salty water, the smell of fear and plenty of fun! I know because I’m a self confessed computer geek and I take breathing for granted every day of my life. I’m told Julian Rocks where we went diving, is one of the worlds best dive spots ...
