A new study released this week in Nature by Sawtell and colleagues at Columbia University could have one potential answer: the fish are creating an electrical network that is larger than any field an individual fish can muster alone.
Rather than being confused by the flurry of electric signals from other fish, 'these fish were clever enough to exploit the pulses of group members to sense their environment,' Sawtell says.
