"Shoal" in context
A shoal is a large group of fish, typically migrating in the same area around shallow waters. Shoaling behaviour occurs in aquatic creatures such as fish and crabs, allowing them to move around in large numbers in order to find food and potential mates. Shoaling behaviour often occurs in the same environment and the fish in the shoal all move in the same direction. The main advantage of shoaling behaviour is safety in numbers, since individual fish in the shoal are less likely to be attacked by predators. Shoaling behaviour also allows for easier navigation when travelling in deep waters.
