A wide variety of fish species have been displayed in public aquariums and zoological collections for over 150 years. Though the issue of pain perception in fish is still being debated, there is no disagreement that negative impacts on their welfare can significantly affect their health and wellbeing. A general description of the basic biological requirements for maintaining fish in captive environments is presented, but species-specific information and guidelines should be developed for the multitude of species being maintained. A combination of behavioral, performance, and physiological indicators can be used to assess the well-being of these animals. Ultimately, the goal for optimizing the welfare of fish should be to provide the best possible environment, husbandry, and social interactions to promote natural species-specific behaviors of the fish in captivity.
150多年来，各种各样的鱼类一直被展示在公共水族馆和动物园中。尽管鱼类疼痛感知问题仍在争论中，但人们一致认为，对其福利的负面影响会显著影响它们的健康和幸福。本文介绍了在圈养环境中饲养鱼类的基本生物学需求的一般描述，但应为所饲养的众多鱼类制定特定物种的信息和指南。行为、表现和生理指标的组合可用于评估这些动物的健康状况。最终，优化鱼类福利的目标应该是提供尽可能好的环境、饲养管理和社交互动，以促进圈养鱼类的自然物种特定行为。
