Long-lived fishes include rattails and the orange roughy, which are of special concern as they are targets of deep-sea fisheries. These species reproduce and grow to maturity very slowly, such that populations may take decades to recover (if at all) after being overfished. This has happened repeatedly to the orange roughy, a deep-sea fish easily found congregating around seamounts in the southern oceans. Once fisheries have wiped out one seamount population, they move on to another seamount. [see Rough seas for orange roughy: Popular U.S. fish import in jeopardyđánh bắt
