Do Fish Feel Pain? | Wasseem Emam and Chris Bryant on Fish Sentience

Why are aquatic animals still so often overlooked in animal welfare conversations?

In this discussion from @chrisbryantphd's livestream, ESR Director, Wasseem Emam, explores fish sentience, pain perception, and the growing scientific evidence surrounding aquatic animal welfare.

The conversation covers:
→ Fish pain perception and behaviour.
→ The science of aquatic animal sentience.
→ “Invisible suffering” in aquaculture.
→ Salmon farming and fish welfare concerns.

Wasseem also reflects on how evolutionary distance, perception and culture shape the way people think about fish and other aquatic species.
