Review of mental ability shows fish are on par with most
animals
Do you still believe that fish are dumb and cannot feel
pain? That we do not have to worry much about how they are cared for or caught?
Think again, says Associate Professor Culum Brown, in a review article in
Springer’s journal Animal Cognition. The research notes that fish cognition and
their sensory perception are generally on par with that of other animals. Brown
therefore argues that more consideration should be given to fish welfare and
anti-cruelty issues.
