Swimming in schools may help some fish evade predators, coordinate hunting, and even weather turbulent waters. Deposit Photos ...

Swimming in schools has massive energy-saving benefits for fish. A study in “water tunnels” has found that fish use half as much energy swimming at high speeds if they are in a school rather ...

It suggests that, similar to cyclists, fish might also save a significant amount of energy when swimming in schools through turbulent waters, as opposed to moving individually.

New simulations show that fish look downward when they swim because the stable riverbed below them provides more reliable information about their swimming direction and speed.

For 50 years, scientists believed that schools of fish would save the most energy by swimming in flat diamond formations. Recently, a team of researchers at Princeton and Harvard ran an experiment ...

Swimming through turbulent water is easier for schooling fish compared to solitary swimmers, according to a study published June 6th in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by Yangfan Zhang of ...

An international research team has developed an innovative model that explains how elongated amphibious animals—such as ...
