    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          @George-K That is a cool video. I was trying to watch just one fish at a time and it does appear that they do rotate within the group. Interesting.

              Nature rhymes. Schools of fish, swarms of bees, flocks of birds.

              Education is extremely important.

                The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

                                https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble-net_feeding

                                As the group circles a school of small fish such as salmon, krill, or herring they use a team effort to disorient and corral the fish into a net of bubbles.[3] One whale will typically begin to exhale out of their blowhole beneath the surface at the school of fish to begin the process.[3] More whales will also start to blow bubbles while continuing to circle their prey. They corral the fish into a tight circle while creating a net of bubbles to surround the fish and keep them from escaping.

                                Here's a view of humpbacks eating when D4 and I were in Boston in 2015.

                                Link to video

                                Note how the birds know something's going on. They begin to circle when the ocean water's color turns green-ish because of the bubbles.

                                It was a pretty remarkable thing to see.
