Professor Rose, 60, said that previous studies which had indicated that fish can feel pain had confused nociception - responding to a threatening stimulus - with feeling pain.

The Norwegian researchers, however, draw a much more fanciful conclusion: that the fish feel pain and change their behaviour to avoid pain in the future. This conclusion has received considerable support, but it is certainly wrong (2). First, we can be certain that fish do not feel pain because they are made of fish.

Do fish, like humans, experience pain and suffering? People hold very differing beliefs about this question. Some would believe that if fish react to stimuli that would cause a person to feel pain that the fish must also be feeling pain. ...

In 2003 Rose published a landmark study in the journal Reviews of Fisheries Science, concluding that animals need specific regions of the cerebral cortex in order to feel pain. And fish do not have them. But doesn't it hurt to have a hook in your mouth?

Do they fish really feel pain, or is this just a hidden agenda for PETA? ... Heck, common sense told me that a long time ago. Biologists are somewhat divided, but those that agree that fish do not feel pain point to the nervous system.

Many a seafood fan has parroted the popular idea that fish and crustaceans do not feel pain. New research, however, suggests that they may, revealing that their nervous system may be more complex than we thought—and our own awareness of pain may be much more evolutionarily ancient than suspected.
