Happy Memorial Day all you scientists! Today we are talking about the science behind fish and if they can feel pain. This is a very common idea that they don't feel pain, so we're going to unpack this and talk about the science about how fish perceive pain, where the idea that they did not perceive pain came from, and of course things you can do as hunters and fishermen to be better stewards for the water. I hope you enjoy today's episode and have a great Memorial Day!
