I would have to say that from my personal experiences, fish can experience both pain and fear. Some fish are even quite intelligent.

So I have heard also. I think fish probably do feel. This zoologist just doesn't know how they do it.

I don't think we should base our decisions on whether to eat animals on the latest zoologist study. I remember when all the textbooks insisted dogs could not see color. Lo, and behold! They can. I can think of other examples where textbooks have reversed themselves in regards to animals. Still, I admit that I eat various killed creatures.
