Abstract
The Animal Welfare Act covers all animals kept by humans, including fish. Yet, fish welfare is frequently overlooked due to the lack of species-specific regulations, and because they were previously thought to have poorly developed senses. However, recent studies have repeatedly demonstrated the opposite, and there is now a push to safeguard fish to the same extent as other animals. Consequently, we require fresh insights into how to care for fish, we need to rely less on wild-caught fish for fish feed, and we need to start recognizing fish as individual beings.
