Abstract
Much of the literature on aquatic animal welfare is flawed by 4 non-mutually exclusive

(and often inter-related) biases: under-reporting/ignoring of negative results, faith-based research

and/or interpretations, Hypothesizing After the Results are Known (HARKing), and inflating the science

boundary. These biases have an insidious impact on the credibility of the ‘science’ surrounding

aquatic animal welfare. While concerns about the welfare of aquatic organisms are valid, research on

this topic should be grounded in the scientific method, embrace negative results, avoid faith-based

interpretations of experimental results and/or HARKing, and strictly respect the science boundary.
