      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.

                              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.
