This report presents case studies of four Orange Roughy Hoplostethus atlanticus fisheries in New Zealand, Australia, on the high seas in the southern Indian Ocean, and in the north-east Atlantic Ocean. Orange Roughy is a deep-sea species that is found from the south-west Pacific Ocean to the north-east Atlantic. Its biological characteristics are typical of many deep-sea species. Orange Roughy fisheries are typically associated with seamounts. These underwater mountains are commonly characterised by high levels of biodiversity and high levels of endemism. Trawling for Orange Roughy has been shown to have substantial and significant impacts on the benthic fauna of seamounts. Given the diversity and high levels of endemism which appear to characterise some deep-sea ecosystems such as seamounts, the creation of a representative network of marine protected areas (MPAs), designed to protect these ecosystems, could make a significant contribution to the conservation of biodiversity and, possibly, the re-building of depleted communities.
