EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a freshly caught Orange Roughie, also known as Emperor Fish, being carefully preserved in ice after its retrieval from the depths of the ocean. Found at astonishing depths ranging from 80 to 1000 meters, this remarkable species, scientifically named Hoplostethus atlanticus, is highly sought after by fishermen. The image showcases the fish packed amidst glistening ice cubes on board a trawler. This method ensures that the delicate flavors and textures of this prized catch are maintained until it reaches port. With its vibrant orange hue contrasting against the frosty backdrop, it's no wonder that this fish is considered a culinary delicacy in various countries. France particularly values this exquisite creature due to its exceptional taste and unique qualities. However, beyond its gastronomic appeal lies an intriguing story about resilience and survival. The Orange Roughie possesses low resilience and is often subject to bottom trawling practices within the fishing industry. As we admire this frozen beauty resting peacefully on a bed of ice crystals, let us reflect upon our responsibility towards sustainable fishing practices for future generations to enjoy such treasures from beneath our seas. Science Photo Library presents us with an opportunity to appreciate not only nature's wonders but also raises awareness about preserving marine life for both scientific exploration and responsible consumption purposes
