Also, more than just understanding the probability of sentience, it would be good to have a better idea of what kinds of things cause them to suffer (that are relevant in their production and use), not just whether they’re sentient at all. For example, I’ve heard that crustaceans are sensitive to heat but not the cold. I suppose whether or not cochineals are sensitive to heat itself, live boiling may cause suffering through the damage it causes.
