A new study by researchers led by Masanori Kohda, a biologist at the Graduate School of Science in Osaka City University, shows fishes may have self awareness potentially on a par with animals such as chimpanzees and orangutans.
Fishes are so much smarter than the vast majority of people realize. It’s hard, though, to imagine a functioning animal who isn’t self-aware. If nonhuman animals knew what most humans think of them they would surely consider us to be the most oblivious species. A great book about fishes is What a Fish Knows: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780374714338 See also: https://www.FishFeel.org

Thankyou Mary. I have only read extracts from the book, but have it on order from the library.
Sandra, it’s a treasury of information, and Jonathan writes in a very engaging way.
