In mammals. This is the kind of reasoning that lead to the conclusion that goldfish have a 5 second memory. Fish and human brains are very different, so we can't even assume that they have the same brain mapping we have.
Vouch :D, there is also 30,000 archtypes of fish which may also have different setups.
Which is why any study saying all fish feel pain based on a few tests done on zebra fish is ridiculous.
So far all we know is that fish react to stimuli that almost anything else with a brain would regardless of ability to feel pain.
Still not sure why people think catching a fish and killing it is more ethical than returning it to breed.
A fish hook leaves one tiny hole, so does just about anything else a carnivorous fish would eat, it would not make sense for predatory fish to feel enough pain to cause stress in their mouth considering all they do all day is eat spiky fish and crustaceans.
