The Fish Mind Programme
This podcast programme focuses on the capacity of fishes to suffer, feel other affective states, and display great cognition abilities. The idea is to present this important information in an informal dialogue of a few minutes. The programme is composed by independent episodes or by series of podcasts about the same theme if it needs more time to be explored. The Fish Mind is part of a project that results from a collaboration with Centro de Aquicultura da Unesp (Caunesp) in Brazil.
