What methods are used to catch orange roughy?

Orange roughy are primarily caught using deep-sea trawling, where large nets are dragged along the ocean floor to capture fish. Longlining is another method employed, involving lines with baited hooks that can attract orange roughy from deeper waters. Both methods raise concerns about bycatch and environmental impact, leading to regulations in some regions to manage their populations effectively. Sustainable fishing practices are increasingly emphasized to protect this long-lived species.
