    What fish was originally called a slimehead, but the name was changed because the name slimehead doesn't sound very appetizing?

    Question #97871. Asked by FISHFREAK7. (Jul 23 08 6:30 PM)

    		Slimeheads, also known as roughies and redfish, are mostly small, exceptionally long-lived, deep-sea beryciform fish constituting the family Trachichthyidae.

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