they feel with there fins
Scientists actually are uncertain whether fish actually feel pain or not.
Fish do not have nerve endings like mammals, so they do not feel pain in the same way. However, being hooked can cause stress, injury, or discomfort to a fish, potentially leading to reduced survival rates if they are released. Proper catch-and-release techniques can help minimize harm to the fish.
Actually, fish do feeel pain centrally and react to it.
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. See the Related Link below. 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.
The Ikejime method is considered the most humane way to kill a fish (if they do feel pain). It involves spiking the brain, causing near instantaneous death.

Here are two apposing views.The world's foremost expert on the subject is Dr. James D. Rose of the University of Wyoming. He's spent 30 years working on questions of neurology, examining data on the responses of animals to painful stimuli. 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.Apposing viewIt is a well common known fact that fish indeed feel pain when they are about to die. Fish just like humans fear the unknown, such as dying. Even though they have very small organs, it still causes them great pain why they are about to let go. Also it is known that fish actually dread being flushed down the toilet, this is because more than once a fish actually hasn't been dead before it has been flushed. Remember, be nice to your fish.
They aren't. they don't have emotions and whether they can feel pain is still debated.
