Controversy erupts in the Fish of the Year election! 🚨

Jono Ridler (the swimmer breaking a record by swimming the length of the North island to raise awareness against bottom trawling) has been entered as a candidate for FOTY 2026.

You get 3 votes. Give one to Orange Roughy, please, and then maybe another to Jono.... if you think he makes a good fish.

Orange roughy is on a mission to reproduce and recover their population, but it is not true that there's always plenty of fish in the sea, especially when bottom trawling has decimated your species

So they're now giving online dating a go, hoping to find mates.

Vote for Orange Roughy for Fish of the Year 2026, and help them find love and spawn.

"I've lived in the deep sea for over 200 years.
Bottom trawling is destroying my coral garden home 🪸.
Most of my friends are gone 😢
My numbers are dwindling, and I cannot recover fast enough."

Poor Orange Roughy!

Your vote can help it be seen.

Here is your #OrangeRoughy fun fact of the day! 🧡 🐟

Orange Roughy is how most of us know them today. But they have had many names over the years!

Their scientific name is Hoplostethus atlanticus, and their common name used to be "slimehead" but that was abandoned as it was commercially unappealing. They have also been called "Red Roughy" and "Deep sea perch".

Some fishers also call them "Napoleons" because of their long lives, referencing the fact that some of them have been alive since Napoleon's time!

Whatever name you want to call them, please vote today for these fascinating fishies of the deep to raise awareness about the issue of bottom trawling!

Your #OrangeRoughy fun fact of the day:

These fish live very slow paced lives. They only start reproducing after they reach between 20 - 30 years of age and scientist believe they are fully sexually mature when they reach about 70 years!

This is one of the main reasons their population recovery is so slow, and they are highly vulnerable to bottom trawling.

Vote for these chilled out, long-lived friends in the deep for Fish of the Year 2026! 🐟 🪸

In Fish of the Year, you get 3 votes.

Please give one to the humble roughy, a deep sea fish who can live over 200 years!
(If they don't get bottom trawled out of their beloved seamount before that)

With everything (terrible and not so much) that is going on, one thing is clear: Democracy is important.

So let's focus on the one democratic process we can all agree is fun and enjoyable, and where the candidates are pretty cool and trustworthy.

Fish of the year voting has opened!

And we are once again suggesting you give your precious vote to the Orange Roughy, an emblematic species of the threat of bottom trawling to ocean health.

Vote Orange Roughy for #FishOfTheYear!

The #blobfish has beaten the #OrangeRoughy by almost 300 votes on the #fishOfTheYear election.

The OR campaign is gracious in defeat (unlike other orange candidates before us) and sincerely congratulate the blobfish, a fellow deep sea fish, on its victory.

While the blobfish may have taken the crown this year, bottom trawling can wreck the hopes of all deep-sea dwellers. #ProtectTheOcean, because every fish —blobby, orange or otherwise— deserves a healthy habitat to thrive in!
