I'm not generally a tree-hugger and I rarely get preachy, but were you
aware
that orange roughy is endangered?

Is there a "best source" you can provide for a list of endengered species?
What organization is actually the final authority on these? Or can
anybody that loves chihuahuas put up a website about their "endangered"
status and if enough people believe...really believe...they (the
chihuahuas!) will become so?

Here's the New Zealand list:

Thanks, Miche.

It's interesting that while they rank it as one of the worst fish to use,
their warnings don't contain the word "endangered".

That's because "endangered" has a very specific meaning. The Forest and
Bird list talks about how close to sustainability the fishery is.
Notice there are no green (fully sustainable) fisheries in NZ waters.
