So it seems to prove some creature can feel discomfort or pain, and not just react to stimuli that we humans, projecting ourselfs, liken to discomfort or pain, we need to show the creature can contextualize the stimuli into a mental construct of self.
What evidence would suggest a creature has a mental construct of self into which it can contextualize experience and stimuli?
Bur the problem is that fish don't even do that. Fish with a hole in their fin continue swimming normally.
There is also neuroanatomical evidence. Fish have little or no type-c neurofibers, which human beings need in order to feel pain.
