The effects of interacting with fish in aquariums on human health and well-being: a systematic review (2019)
Journal Article
Clements, H., Valentin, S., Jenkins, N., Rankin, J., Baker, J. S., Gee, N., …Sloman, K. (2019). The effects of interacting with fish in aquariums on human health and well-being: a systematic review. PLOS ONE, 14(7), Article e0220524. https://doi.org/10.

Background Most research into the health benefits of human-animal interaction has focused on species that interact physically with humans, such as dogs. This may be unsuitable for certain populations for reasons including accessibility and the risk...
