They improve their foraging and swim more efficiently and higher success in finding a mate. ]]> 2017-07-07 03:22:35 UTC https://padlet.com/nikaiya_407365/j7h82awvfk2z/wish/178234916 nikaiya_407365 https://padlet.com/nikaiya_407365/j7h82awvfk2z/wish/178234945 In biology, any group of fish that stay together for social reasons are shoaling and if the group is swimming in the same direction in a coordinated manner, they are schooling]]> 2017-07-07 03:23:19 UTC https://padlet.com/nikaiya_407365/j7h82awvfk2z/wish/178234945 nikaiya_407365 https://padlet.com/nikaiya_407365/j7h82awvfk2z/wish/178235432 Exactly how fish pull off this schooling has remained a biological mystery but scientist know "schooling is not a learned behavior, and instead show it relies on several regions of the fish genome." Fish usually exhibit schooling during mature phases of their life cycle. Fish evolved to swim in schools to better protect themselves from predators, improve their foraging and swim more efficiently.]]> 2017-07-07 03:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/nikaiya_407365/j7h82awvfk2z/wish/178235432 nikaiya_407365 https://padlet.com/nikaiya_407365/j7h82awvfk2z/wish/178235916 The development of a highly specialized sensory structure unique to fish, known as the lateral line, which can detect vibrations in the water helps them to school.The lateral line is made up of neuromasts, which are similar to the hair cells found in the human ear. This enables schooling fish to sense changes in water currents and respond accordingly.

- Swimming in schools reduces friction on fish’s bodies and the energy required to swim.
- They also create dazzling colors and shimmers in a tightly knit group, causing confusion among predators. This makes it harder to hunt them, as well as throw them for a loop.
-  A complicated mechanic that’s built into each fish’s instinct alerts them when another fish near them has moved, and they move with it]]> 2017-07-07 03:52:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nikaiya_407365/j7h82awvfk2z/wish/178236348 nikaiya_407365 https://padlet.com/nikaiya_407365/j7h82awvfk2z/wish/178236602 I feel in order for a species to adapt they need to experience a form of social interaction as well as obtain social behaviors in order to survive.]]> 2017-07-07 03:59:51 UTC https://padlet.com/nikaiya_407365/j7h82awvfk2z/wish/178236602
