Almost every day, when I go there to feed the geese, I also feed the fish. As I watch the feeding frenzy, I wonder about them: Do fish think like the way we do? How do they know when and where I’d feed the geese, and hence position themselves at the right place and time, expecting to get food as well? More than once, some fish got so impatient waiting for their turn that they flipped themselves onto the bank (startling the geese), only to try to flip themselves back into the water (sometimes with my help). Did they feel pain and panic when they hit the ground? In other words, do fish have feelings like we do? Being curious about fish, I read up on them every now and then during my free time. The current SDS, Expect the Unexpected, inspired me to make a project about them, with a slight twist of the theme by combining fantasy (the beginning animation) and facts. ♋ I hope this project will help raise the awareness that a lot of animals — in this case, fish — are intelligent and feeling in their own ways and should be treated with more humane considerations. ♋ All coding by me ♋ All art made in Inkscape and SVE ♋ Music: Rain & underwater sounds, nature's music :) ♋ Sources of material consulted: ⋆ https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/fish ⋆ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_fish ⋆ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity_of_fish#:~:text =According%20to%20FishBase%2C%2034%2C300%20species,%2C%20amphibians%2C%20reptiles%20and%20birds ⋆ https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/06/20/ 482468094/fish-have-feelings-too-the-inner-lives-of-our-underwater-cousins ⋆ https://ecohustler.com/nature/the-number-of-fish-killed-in-2018-will-shock-you ⋆ https://ideas.ted.com/inside-the-surprising-social-networks-of-fish-yes-fish/ ⋆ https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/55172675 ⋆ https://www.fishingworld.com.au/news/rowley-shoals-midnight-snapper-takes-title-of-oldest-tropical-reef-fish ⋆ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POITH02VVrw ⋆ https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/44668513 ⋆ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_line#:~:text=The %20lateral%20line%2C%20also%20called,gradients%20in%20the%20surrounding%20water. ⋆ https://www.britannica.com/science/lateral-line-system ⋆ https://salmonfactswork.weebly.com/alevin.html ⋆ https://salmonfactswork.weebly.com/fry.html ⋆ https://salmonfactswork.weebly.com/smolt.html ⋆ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-do-spawning-fish-navigate-back/ ⋆ https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/static/education/ educators/curricula/pdfs/salmon ⋆ https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/how-do-salmon-know-where-their-home-when-they-return-ocean-1 ⋆ https://www.eikojones.com/salmon-fry-out-migration/ ⋆ https://fishingbooker.com/blog/7-fish-facts-you-wont-believe/?__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=366a2ef8a8b416bcf3e855677be7c78d4bb024fb-1620755843-0-AUXODJ7qdNOa8jsnS4SJiOtxO04n-EFCwXgm_f0ZQfk4woucwSLWbvT5WkClqOAYmmG6oJD2FccL6FiYr_qy5AYm3Yb58lhwBiGQwnglPOikYvFmuz_nkjPs9LFv_xhZ18HcNN66hJ7z7J0D6j4PSSBQX58cMdq97az9qwkMM9CdfpmiNxy74UR5iQ7F_6qGSmMYJa0QR-6LS3WkZjNeYCMXmKo-9cdA5BkS-mUJKfkrQtU2Wp0vGuTrU7oVVLW2jN2hKpwSEa1_I0i9KAYfBUPbcXY8BuYJp95qlxy7jMkGT6XiabgLoGBV0vH3ri-qGb6lmvsiylNOTsrjGfGgSZPGS0XS4WyXchJ9Bzzh-9v41-XjIzELzfp72xwzSq3_SEry3lwj7QgKzzlcVExYBcspo-U1b4336Dtilf-PUojDqoidmiTdB3Mxlvdy0jrZLA ♋ —————— • ◦ ∙ ♡ ∙ ◦ • —————— ♋
