Clearly, in fact it's been proven so many times that you couldn't help but cite to such proofs.
In fact, there are still differing viewpoints. While nearly all animals respond to stimuli, that doesn't mean that they are experiencing pain, or that they experience pain the same way humans do.

But again, you are assigning human ideas to fish. The life of the fish is a difficult one. Fish spare each other no mercy. While humanity has occasionally been able to accept the idea that the pain of other humans is a negative thing to cause, fish have shown no such signs of accepting a similar idea.
Why should we be required to treat fish as humans considering they don't treat themselves as anything other than fish?
