If you've never heard the 1978 Barnes and Barnes song, 'Fish Heads', I'd suggest you give it a go by watching the surrealistic video available onYouTube. Don't try to make sense of the lyrics. All you need to know is that by and large, fish heads are pretty useless and, it's commonly believed, are the first part of the whole fish to rot. Fish are much in the news due to the importance being attached to the them concerned with negotiation of a free trade deal after the end of the transition period on 31st December this year.The totemic status of fish neatly summarises a process that's been years in the making by those who've always mistrusted Europe.

Woodruff makes two arguments to support his claim that ray-finned fish are conscious: (1) Fish neuroanatomy has similarities with the structures in the human brain that support consciousness. (2) The complexity and flexibility of fish behaviour suggest that they are conscious. This commentary will argue that neither the neuroanatomical nor the behavioural argument can provide conclusive evidence for consciousness in fish. We should suspend judgement until we have discovered mathematical theories of consciousness that can reliably map between states of consciousness and states of the physical world.

This book introduces the ecology of fishes by describing the inter-relationships between fishes and the aquatic habitats they occupy. Sequential reading, chapter by chapter, covers the main themes of ecology, including habitat use, species interactions, migration, feeding, population dynamics and reproduction in relation to the major habitats occupied by fishes

This project is a paper and film account of the decline of Jamaica's fisheries and coral reefs. The nation's coral reefs have been depleted of fish as a result of the government's failure to sustainably regulate access to fisheries. In addition, the health of reefs have declined due hotel developments along the island's coasts. This capstone projects tells the story of development and fisheries overexploitation and how it impacts the Jamaican people and their natural resources.

Aquaculture is rapidly becoming a major source of fish protein used to meet the nutritional needs of humans. As the aquaculture industry grows, exposure of farmed fish to environmental contaminants, and the need for chemical therapeutic agents for fish, will increase. This book is designed to bring together authorities worldwide on the regulation of environmental contaminants and food chemicals and researchers investigating the metabolism and disposition of foreign chemicals (xenobiotics) in fish species

The impacts of early fishing on aquatic ecosystems were minimal, as primitive technologies were used to harvest fish primarily for food. As fishing technology grew more sophisticated and human populations dispersed and expanded, local economies transitioned from subsistence to barter and trade. Expanded trade networks and mercantilization led to surplus catches becoming tradable commodities. Today, global export fish commodities, including fresh, frozen, cured, and canned fish, are valued at over US$ 100 billion, but commoditization loses the ecological imperative, with overfishing the result. To sustain global fisheries, human and ecosystem relationships with living fish need to be valued, as fish landed for both food and profit. Toward this end, we propose two decommoditization strategies: (a) valuing cultural property, the intergenerational relationships of people to places, in environmental policy and (b) instituting social subsidies that reward or enable local communities to cooperate in sustaining aquatic living resources, such as with marine protected areas.
