Paratrachichthys is a genus of slimeheads found in the Pacific Ocean.

Slimeheads are named for the network of muciferous canals riddling their heads.

Like other slimeheads, the orange roughy is slow-growing and late to mature, resulting in a very low resilience.

The branches often produce spherical slimeheads of translucent conidiophores on their swollen tips.

Hoplostethus is a genus of slimeheads.

The scales of slimeheads are ctenoid but vary interspecifically; they range from deciduous to adherent.

Most slimeheads are sluggish and demersal, spending most of their time near the bottom of continental slopes.

It is also applied to the slimeheads or roughies (family Trachichthyidae), and the alfonsinos (Berycidae).

The rounded head is riddled with muciferous canals (part of the lateral line system), as is typical of slimeheads.

With a typically deep-bodied, laterally compressed form, slimeheads are conspicuous for their large, titular heads, large eyes, and (in some species) bright colours.

Predators of slimeheads are not well known, but include large deep-roving sharks; cutthroat eels; merluccid hakes, and snake mackerels.

Orange roughies are food fish and are marketed fresh and frozen, whereas Darwin's slimeheads are utilised for their oil and made into fishmeal.

Both young and adult slimeheads feed primarily upon zooplankton such as mysid shrimp, amphipods, euphausiids, prawns and other crustaceans, as well as larval fish.

Slimeheads are very slow-growing and long-lived fish; the orange roughy ranks among the longest-lived animals known, with a maximum reported age of 149 years (however, this age is disputed).

Many populations have already crashed, while others are showing signs of severe overfishing; due to slimeheads' slow rate of reproduction, the future viability of these fisheries has been put into question.

The largest species is the orange roughy at a maximum standard length (SL; a measurement excluding the caudal fin) of 75 cm and a weight of 7 kg; however, most slimeheads are well under 30 cm SL.

Now, in the cool, mid-May night, he worked on the funhouse with Gunther, Ghost, his other fulltime employees, a couple of local laborers looking to make forty bucks each, and a pair of free-lance roughies who traveled with the show.

Sometimes working under masculine noms de sleaze, Wishman turned out both gentle nudies (including the lovely "Nude on the Moon," a classic for its title alone) and the violent, misogynist "roughies" that drove the exploitation trade through the late 60's and early 70's.
