A Corrigendum on
What Is It Like to Be a Bass? Red Herrings, Fish Pain and the Study of Animal Sentience

by Mason, G. J., and Lavery, J. M. (2022). Front. Vet. Sci. 9:788289. doi: 10.3389/fvets.2022.788289

In the original article, there was a miswording. This special edition focuses on the legacy of Dr. Victoria Braithwaite, but the wording of the second sentence in our abstract “Thanks to Braithwaite's discovery of trout nociceptors, and concerns that current practices could compromise welfare in countless fish, this issue's importance is beyond dispute” accidentally implied this discovery was her achievement only, when of course it involved others too. To better sum up Dr. Braithwaite's impact, we have now replaced “discovery of trout nociceptors” with “research leadership” in the second line of the abstract. This does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
