Die Rolle von Fischen im Alten Agypten ist nicht ganz frei von Widerspruchen: Waren sie wichtigstes Nahrungsmittel seit vorgeschichtlicher Zeit, fehlten sie doch in den Totenopferlisten und auf den Speisetischen der Tempel; einerseits wurden sie als Feinde bei den grossten Gotterfesten zertrampelt und verbrannt, andererseits durften sie als "bwt" weder gegessen noch beruhrt werden. Solche Fischtabus, die in den kalendarischen Listen des Neuen Reiches bereits angedeutet werden, haben keine Allgemeingultigkeit. Sie sind auf bestimmte Fischarten beschrankt, das heisst dort gultig, wo Fische als heilige Tiere bestimmten Gottheiten zugesellt sind. Ihre Rolle als Helfer des Re und des Osiris liess daruber hinaus einzelne Arten zu Beschutzern des Toten werden, zum Teil sogar als dessen Garanten der Wiederbelebung und Wiedergeburt.
