• Preference for structured environment in zebrafish (Danio rerio) and checker barbs (Puntius oligolepis) (2011, background): “Others still deny that fish are sentient animals, but nevertheless advocate a respectful and responsible handling of fish (Rose, 2002; Iwama, 2007).”
• Nociception or pain in a decapod crustacean (2008, background): “For example, it has been suggested that the possession of a well-developed cerebral cortex is a requirement and thus only the advanced mammals are regarded capable of experiencing pain (Rose 2002), although this stance has been questioned (Sneddon et al.”
• Farmed fish welfare-suffering assessment and impact on product quality (2009, background): “On the other hand, Rose (2002) argued that nociceptive-based behaviour of fish can occur in the absence of pain and that these behaviours are not dissimilar to the adaptable reflex behaviour of all the animals, including protozoa, which simply avoid noxious stimuli.”
• A review of tricaine methanesulfonate for anesthesia of fish (2010, background): “Although the capability of fish to feel pain is a highly controversial topic (for counterarguments, see Rose (2002), Sneddon et al. (2003), and Braithwaite and Boulcott (2007)), considerable evidence suggests that using anesthetics increases the wellbeing of fish.”
• Minds without spines: Evolutionarily inclusive animal ethics (2020, background): “, fishes, birds, and all invertebrates) are unlikely to be subjects of experience (Key 2016; Rose 2002).”
• Pain experience in hermit crabs (2009, background): “The neocortex has a central role in human pain and it has been argued that any species lacking this structure will be incapable of that feeling ( Rose 2002 ).”
• Investigating fear in domestic rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, using an avoidance learning task (2004, background): “Rose (2002) believes that conscious experiences like fear and pain are neurological impossibilities, due to the lack of a neocortex in fish—the presumed place where consciousness dwells in higher vertebrates.”
• Psychological Stress and Welfare in Fish (2009, background): “In fish, the regulation of stress involving psychological components is not well studied and there is even a current debate about whether fish possess sufficient psychological capacities for mental assessment of stressful situations (e.g. Rose 2002, 2007).”
• Can fish suffer?: perspectives on sentience, pain, fear and stress (2004, background): “It is therefore appropriate to recognize and study the welfare of farmed fish.”
• Defining and assessing animal pain (2014, unknown): “The opposition to the idea that animals experience pain has sparked fierce debates over the capacity of non-primate animals for pain (e.g. Bermond, 1997, 2001; Rose, 2002; Rose et al., 2014).”
