Dr. Gregor Cailliet, Professor Emeritus at Moss Landing Marine Labs, has studied deep-sea fishes since the 1960s. As a leader in the field of age and growth, he was among the first to discover that deep-sea fishes grow slower, live longer, and reproduce later, all of which make them highly vulnerable to fishing pressure. Here Dr. Cailliet discusses the sensitivity of deep-sea fishes and why fisheries managers might consider proceeding with caution when initiating commercial exploitation.
