Fish swimming in schools expend less energy in turbulent waters due to grouping, similar to cyclists in a peloton. This behavior could inspire energy-efficient technologies like group-moving drones.
Collective movement in animals serves various purposes, and the debate lies in whether grouping reduces or increases individual energy expenditure. The new study suggests that fish in schools may benefit from reduced energy use in turbulent water.
