I found a similar quote from an official in Italy about five years ago. I was researching material for my book on mini-aquariums and came across this:
Recently, the region of Monza, in Italy created legislation that would ban keeping goldfish in bowls. An official was quoted as saying,
"A fish kept in a bowl has a distorted view of reality...and suffers because of this. "
It may be a European Union thing. It has absolutely no basis in fact. Most public aquariums use curved aquariums for delicate schooling fish and even jellyfish.
