“…O sistema relacionado à consciência da dor inclui uma análise cerebral complexa (BROOM, 2007). Recentemente, a ocorrência de dor em peixes tem sido debatida mais intensamente (ROSE, 2002;SNEDDON, 2002;SNEDDON et al 2003;JACKSON, 2003;CHANDROO et al, 2004; BRAITHWAITE e H U N T I N G F O R D , 2 0 0 4 ; B R A I T H WA I T E e BOULCOTT, 2007;BROOM, 2007), sendo possível perceber que ainda há muito a se pesquisar sobre a questão de como os peixes são capazes de perceber a dor e qual a intensidade dessa percepção.…”

resumo -No Brasil, assim como em outras partes do mundo, a preocupação com o bem-estar dos peixes encontra-se em seus passos iniciais. O bem-estar de peixes, se comparado com o bemestar de outras espécies de animais de produção, é um tópico praticamente ausente para consumidores, produtores e legislação vigente. Porém, as evidências anatômicas, fisiológicas, comportamentais, evolutivas e farmacológicas sugerem que os peixes experimentam sentimentos como dor, medo e outros de maneira similar aos demais vertebrados. Isso sugere que os peixes têm potencialmente a capacidade de sofrer e apresentar outros sentimentos, ou seja, que os peixes são seres sencientes. Esta revisão teve como objetivo discutir aspectos referentes à dor e à presença de consciência nos peixes, visando colaborar com o entendimento da senciência nesses animais. Uma vez reconhecida a senciência em peixes, estes animais são incluí-dos nas considerações éticas acerca de não serem submetidos a sofrimento. palavras-chave: Senciência; cognição; consciên-cia; dor; teleósteo.abstract -In Brazil, as well as in other parts of the World, the concern about fish welfare is in its initials steps. Fish welfare, if compared to the welfare of other species of farm animals, is practically an absent topic for consumers, producers and current law. However, anatomic, physiologic, behavioral, evolutive and pharmacologic evidences suggest that fish experience feelings such as pain, fear and others, in ways that are similar to other vertebrates. This suggests that fish are potentially capable of experiencing suffering and other feelings; in other words, that fish are sentient. The objective of this review was to discuss pain and consciousness in fish, in order to collaborate with sentience understanding in these animals. Once fishes are recognized as sentient beings, these animals are then included into ethical considerations regarding the avoidance of suffering infliction.

“…The physiological and behavioral correlates of emotional responses in humans offer candidate indirect measures of emotional responses in animals. Although non-human mammals have been the subject of this research, extending it to emotional experiences in fish is still limited (Braithwaite & Boulcott, 2007). Nevertheless, there is no reason to presume that zebrafish do not experience something akin to emotion.…”

Widely used in biomedical research, zebrafish (Danio rerio) are steadily gaining popularity as a model organism for studying neurobehavioral phenomena. Here, we focus on to the growing spectrum of zebrafish behavioral phenotypes and the 'bigger' biological problems these models help to address. Emphasizing the developing potential of zebrafish as a model organism in biological psychiatry, we discuss several questions related to this field: Do zebrafish have 'emotional'-like behaviors? What are their neural circuits, biomarkers, and ontogenetic origins? And, finally, how can we use this knowledge to build translational bridges to understand human emotions, motivation and personality? Representing a joint effort of several established neurobehavioral laboratories, this article outlines the mounting evidence to support emotionality in zebrafish and other fishes. This conclusion is important to justify the validity of zebrafish 'affective' paradigms and their utility for basic/translational research of normal and pathological behaviors.

“…This is a current concern because new research is forcing us to think about which animals should be included in terms of welfare and protection. There is mounting evidence that various species of fish (Braithwaite & Boulcott, 2007), and even crustacea (Barr et al, 2008) may have the capacity for suffering and so should be given welfare considerations as we do for birds and mammals.…”

“…They certainly have the ability to experience the sensory aspects of pain, responding to it neurologically, behaviourally and physiologically (Sneddon et al, 2003a). There is a debate over whether these reactions are simply reflexive or whether higher cognitive levels are involved (Chandroo et al, 2004;Huntingford et al, 2006;Braithwaite & Boulcott, 2007;Rose, 2002Rose, , 2007. Attention tests have been used to investigate this in trout.…”

Brydges NM, Braithwaite VA. Measuring Animal Welfare: What Can Cognition Contribute? ARBS Annu Rev Biomed Sci 2008;10:T91-T103. In this review, we explore a variety of techniques that are currently available to investigate the welfare of non-human animals (referred to from now on as animals) with a particular focus on studies of animal cognition. We consider some of the more traditional measures of animal welfare: biological function, physiology and inference, and discuss different ways in which we might assess welfare requirements. We then consider whether cognitive assays can help us determine what animals want or prefer, and whether it is possible to use cognition to discover the mental or affective state of an animal (i.e. positive or negative affective states). We defend that certain aspects of cognition will play a fruitful role in helping us to understand animal 'mental welfare' and, in this way, we make a case for how cognition can be usefully applied in a welfare context.
