Notice...
Findings from the MAR-ECO research and other projects could help conservation efforts for these rich ecosystems, which are endangered by deep-sea trawling activity, the researchers say
The fish is endangered after the above comments of...
In fact, scientists know so little about these fish that 50 percent of the animals collected from deeper than 3,000 meters (1.86 miles) turn out to be unidentified species.Little is known about how they reproduce. Assuming the fish are few and far between down there, how do they rendezvous to allow a species to thrive?
Sounds like a bunch of do gooders not properly evaluating what they have for intelligent thesis...Which is it guys...You know nothing about the fish, yet you can conclude that it is endangered??? More time, and other experts brought in who have a more analytical mind sound like the call of the day to me.

Geez, man... these poor fish were just heading for a nice dark place to get it on, and we have to go down with searchlights and peek at them. How rude!
