incorrect labelling is a big problem in most places. Over the last few years consumers are at least required to be informed if the fish they purchase are local or imported which is a big step forward. Most shops also put the country of origin if they're imported. The reason this law was finally introduced is largely thanks to the asian prawn farming industry and their habit of loading the product with anti-biotics which are not permitted over here.

It definitely is a case of buyer beware though. Why wouldn't you inform yourself on what you're planning on putting in your body? Some things - such as imported prawns imo - could be very harmful.

tw - with regard to the Orange Roughie, they basically live on the tops of sea mounts and once the area is harvested they don't regenerate very well simply because of the reasons classic covered re breeding cycle etc along with the fact that they really don't move from sea mount to sea mount if that makes any sense, so before bag limits were introduced, a sea mount could literally be 'fished out' and that's the end of the OR.
