All the fish is in a school swim in the same d3. and at the same speed. When one turns, they all turn. When there is danger, the fish move closer together.

When they crowded together, the fish inside the group are p6. by the bodies of the ones on the outside. A school of close swimming herring may look like a s7. , giant fish. Some enemies may be frightened away by the large shape.

As the herring g8. larger, the school is attacked by larger, hungry fish. Each time some herring are lost, but many survive. The survivors stay t9. in smaller schools or join another school of herring.
