Is it true that fish show behavioral responses to painful stimuli?
Yes. A Wikipedia article on pain in fish documents that fish exhibit protective behavioral responses to putatively painful stimuli, such as trout rubbing their lips and changing ventilation after acid or venom injection. A fish physiology encyclopedia and a tilapia study also describe behavioral responses to noxious or electric stimuli.
