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 view
It 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.
The evidence on whether fish feel pain is still debated among scientists. Some studies suggest that fish may have the ability to feel pain, while others argue that their nervous system may not be advanced enough to experience pain in the same way humans do.
Fish are complex and not fully understood. They have the capacity to learn, have fun and hunt. They get stressed out and depressed so it isn't out of the realm of possibility that they feel other emotions. To many they are considered stupid but, again, are just not understood. Until further research is conducted nobody will know about the psyche of fish.

Does it hurt when you hook a fish?
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.
Does it hurt when a fish gets a hook in it's mouth?
Yes, it can be painful for a fish to get a hook in its mouth. The hook can cause injury and distress to the fish, and if not handled properly, it can result in further harm or stress to the fish. Anglers strive to minimize harm by using barbless hooks and practicing proper catch-and-release techniques.

How do you know that fish do not feel pain via a mechanism other than a neurocortex?
Actually, fish do feeel pain centrally and react to it.
Do fish feel pain?
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.
