Orange roughy Hoplostethus atlanticus juveniles <24 cm fork length ( L F ) (10–17 years old) were recorded for the first time in Chile, when 10 specimens were collected on the continental slope and seamount JF2 in Juan Fernandez Archipelago. The L F , total mass, anatomical and parasitological information are reported. Relevance to current life‐cycle hypotheses is discussed.
