Not at all - it is more like the saltwater version of a perch. Mot really predatory like those you mentioned at all. They grow very slowly and don't mature to reproduce for something like 10 or 20 years. They also are a relatively small fish growing to about a foot or 2 max. That's why their numbers are declining so fast. They are very tasty and high in demand.

I have this gift certificate for a fish store. Are Orange Roughies sold under another name (as some fish are)?
