🤓 Fish is a general term for any vertebrate with gills, fins and lives in water. So, within this definition many species reside like shark, lobed-finned fishes, rays ect. So within the loose definition of "Fish" mermaids could be included, assuming they do have gills and not breath under water with some sort of magic.
Cannibalism is the practice of eating one's own species. Judging from the story, Bonito, the species, does not include Mermaids. Therefore, with mermaids and bonitos being different species, it can not be cannibalism.
Now, this argument doesn't exclude or make a judgement on the philosophical implications of eating something you can communicate and "be friends" with.
