140 years

The warty oreo is very similar to the spiky oreo, but with the lower corner of the diamond shaped body not as pointed, shorter dorsal and anal fin spines, and two rows of enlarged warty scales along the sides of the belly between the pelvic and anal fins.

9. Orange Roughy
149 years

Orange roughy are generally sluggish and demersal; they form aggregations with a natural population density of up to 2.5 fish per square meter, now reduced to about 1 per square meter. These aggregations form in and around geologic structures, such as undersea canyons and seamounts, where water movement and mixing is high—ensuring dense prey concentrations. The aggregations are not necessarily for spawning or feeding; it is thought that the fish cycle through metabolic phases (active or feeding and inactive or resting) and seek areas with ideal hydrologic  conditions to congregate during each phase. They lose almost all pigmentation while inactive, during which time they are very approachable. Predators include large deep-roving sharks, cutthroat eels, merluccid hakes, and snake mackerels.
