This article investigates whether fish can truly feel fear, considering both emotional and physiological responses. It examines key concepts such as anthropomorphism and experimenter bias, which may cloud our understanding of fish behavior. Dr. Rose concludes that anthropomorphism can undermine our perception of other species. Furthermore, the article argues that behavioral responses in fish do not necessarily correlate with psychological experiences, and presents the idea that fear may be neurologically impossible for fish.
