The answer is no.

Recent studies by scientists have found that fish do not in fact feel pain. According to well respected scientists, including Stephen Hawking (Who says, "I am much like a fish. I can not feel pain.), fish lack the neocortex in the brain to actually feel pain.

They can react to pain, but do not actually feel any discomfort, and simply react to something touching them, much like an ordinary person.

Findings found from Cambridge Biological Science department, 2008.

i think they do because scientist's have just proved that they do feel pain

However, we DON'T have to make them suffer unnecessary , like eating them alive etc...

My opinion (Rebecca Marie) is that we should assume they can feel pain and treat them in a humane manner anyhow.
