Big school of white fish swimming over sandy ocean floor near Tenerife Island

Aqua Life in the Deep of the Atlantic.

This underwater footage captures a large school of white fish swimming in unison over a sandy ocean floor near Tenerife, Canary Islands. The video shows the fish move together as a cohesive unit, creating a wonderful wave-like motion in the clear blue water. Their movements are synchronized, with each fish maintaining a consistent distance from its neighbors, allowing them to turn and shift direction seamlessly. The sandy floor below is light beige and dotted with small, darker patches, indicating areas of denser substrate and marine life hiding beneath in this clip. The background fades into a deep blue, giving a sense of depth and vastness to the underwater environment.

This footage provides an excellent opportunity to learn about the behavior and social structure of schooling fish. Schooling is a collective behavior that offers various advantages to fish, such as protection from predators, increased hydrodynamic efficiency, and improved foraging success. In a school, individual fish can reduce the risk of predation through the "safety in numbers" effect, where the sheer number of individuals can confuse predators and reduce the likelihood of any single fish being targeted. Additionally, swimming in a coordinated group can save energy, as fish benefit from the slipstream created by others. This efficient way of moving also allows them to cover larger areas in search of food, thereby increasing their chances of finding sustenance.
