The black slimehead (Hoplostethus cadenati) is a member of the order Beryciformes.It is found along the coast of northwest Africa from Cape Verde down to South Africa.It typically lives near the ocean floor 200–700 m (660–2,300 ft) deep, but can be found up ranging from 70–1,000 m (230–3,280 ft) deep.
Slimeheads store energy as extracellular wax esters, which aid the fish in maintaining neutral buoyancy. Slimehead behaviour is not well studied, but some species sporadically form dense aggregations. In the case of the orange roughy, these aggregations (possibly segregated according to sex) may reach a population density of 2.5/m 2;.
The orange roughy (Hoplostethus atlanticus), also known as the red roughy, slimehead and deep sea perch, is a relatively large deep-sea fish belonging to the slimehead family (Trachichthyidae). The UK Marine Conservation Society has categorized orange roughy as "vulnerable to exploitation".
