Orange roughy are considered endangered primarily due to overfishing and their slow growth and reproductive rates. They can live for over 150 years, but they mature slowly, making them particularly vulnerable to exploitation. Additionally, their deep-sea habitat is often targeted by trawlers, leading to significant population declines. Conservation efforts are crucial to allow their populations to recover.
