To end the deception about fish names, I suggest that scientific names of all fish varieties be used in trade. So it doesn't matter if one calls a particular fish as a slimehead or an orange roughy. However, if it is labelled as Hoplostethus atlanticus in commerce and trade, it makes it more difficult to make up new names to disguise an illegal catch.
This from the guy that wanted the simplify spelling. Doesn't matter what they call it, you have no way of knowing what you're eating. Whether they change the proper name verses a common name makes no difference. Deception is the name of the game, not loopholes.
