They synchronize to the rhythm of their peers. So they aren’t just moving together, they’re dancing! Could our own tendency to sync to rhythms be related?
Say, you're walking down the street and there's wind against you making your walk harder, and there's more people walking in the same direction, wouldn't be easier to walk behind one of them so they block a good part of the wind for you? These fish are just taking the path of less resistance. I'm pretty sure.
Fish have a different nervous system than humans so I'd imagine that they feel the currents to a sensitive degree, helping them find that vortex. Seems like there is many benefits for a school! Maybe we're seeing proof to the evolution of socializing and how it benefits all of us individually.
Oh that's interesting. I had just assumed schooling helped fish sense the environment around them quicker, and that their lateral line system allowed their movements to sync up so well.
Yo! This is the first new fish schooling joke I’ve heard since before I got my diploma . . . in the 90s. Even if no one else ever says anything, this is funny. And novel (to me, at least). Thanks.
This gave me a huge nostalgia hit as I just finished me senior thesis paper on this exact topic last summer. Good memories hunched over many of the same papers and figures referenced in the video.
Fish actually do make formations like that. I catch finger mullet with a castnet +50 times a year and the schools are almost v-shaped back from a leader. like birds.
They may have schooling but applicants must have x years in experience in thier field so . . . But you need a degree to get that experience . . . Vicious evil cycle . . . Edit: errors ....
I like that y'all focused on this question, to go more into detail. I mean I was pretty sure y'all had already made a video with very similar content about fish, birds and insects and how all schooling related and how humans might use that for nanotechnology and such. Tbh when I started I video I was like ugh, same thing again? But the deets about how it specifically helps fish deff made the video worth watching :)
They're not less stressed when in schools, they are more stressed when alone. This is an important difference, as the stress motivates them to school in the first place. Something has to drive this behaviour after all
You have a good point. In English (at least in the US), many words from foreign sources wind up with English plural endings. So, vortices would be correct, especially in a scientific or technical context. In informal discussions, vortexes is often used. It is sometimes risky to try to use plurals from other languages. People often say, "octopi," which is giving a Latin ending to a Greek word. Theoretically you'd say, "octopodes." Many people wouldn't know what you meant, and most would likely think you were weird of pretentious...
Does that imply that we should check and see if soldiers, marching in formation, have a lower metabolic rate than the same soldiers 'straggling' or one of them walking individually?
Shoals are considered less organized bcause we see their flaws better as they are bigger and easier to observe or they are really less organized taking into account the increase in numbers and mass?
No, shoals don't need to be large. Go to a store that sells marine fish and ask to see the blue or green chromis. They will most likely be shoaling in their tank. A school is just a shoal all moving on the same direction. If you see any fish doing their own thing in the group and not really moving in sync with the others, it's a shoal. The amount of fish really makes no difference.
Can SciShow do a video about what happens physically, mentally, and with the heart and circulatory system, if a fairly inactive person starts to cycle a lot?
I noticed that bird don't really have a leader, if you look closely, when one gets in front of the others they'll kind of follow this one until another one gets in front, i think it's like a group of humans going to the same place but everyone got their own way or path to get there. That's from what i see just looking at them but I'm not a scientist so I'm not sure.
I had a question. Is it possible for scientist to tell if a exoplanet is tidally locked? How do they do so? Is there a limit on how far their technique works?
QUICK QUESTION: Why can cold-blooded fish like cod lead constantly active lives in cold seas, but cold-blooded reptiles become torpid or even die when exposed to the same temperatures?
3:16 Unless they're bettas, then a school of them sounds like a terrible idea. :P But really, thanks for pointing out the difference between Shoaling and Schooling fish. A lot of people use the terms interchangeably, but if you've kept shoaling or schooling fish, you'd know their behaviours are quite different, aside from a baseline "Very skittish when alone or in too few numbers."
This reminds me of my friend and I in swim practice. When we would swim side by side at the perfect spot the faster swimmers current would help the slower swimmer and then when we passed each other in opposite directions doing kicking drills we’d grab hands and pull each other forward.
Can't focus on the video since the beginning because I learnt that in english a group of fish is "school", while in neo-latin languages is "banc/banco": the desk that students use at school. Why?!
I once found a school of tropical fish nearby Costa Rica and one of the fish had 3/4 of his body eaten away but could still keep up with the rest of the school of fish...🐠
I read that fish feel safer when many of their own kind are around because there is a perception of safety. If the place is not safe enough, there wouldnt be many of them. I also read that fish that swim at the front of the school/shoal tend to get more food but are more likely to get eaten by predators.
QQ: What happens to the rest of the water molecule when oxygen is absorbed by a fish in its gills? Does it become something new? I've always wondered about the phrase "low oxygen water" and how that could be the case when there is still an oxygen in the H2O.
Why do flocks of birds school in much the same way. Some species perform dazzling, flight displays similar to a school of fish. This there a theory that is common to both species?
Hank! Good to see you outside the home studio, lol. And to respond to some of the comments, yes fish are smart. Any fisherman(or woman) will tell you. Especially the bigger ones. But, Yeah. Why wouldn't you hang out with all of your best buds and reap the benefits of their efforts, as they do you. Just go to any bar in America and you will see an example of this. Anyways, nice segment Hank. Looking forward to more from you and the team
Okay first of all, if you think on any level schooling helps fish prevent from being eaten then you have no idea what a human is. Second, I would much rather go and watch your first world's most dangerous chemicals or the most recent one about alchemy. That first one there is by far my favorite scishow episode ever though.
Wouldn't a higher density of the school raise the likelihood of one being grabbed in an open mouth charge? I don't see how creating more targets lowers the likelihood of one being eaten.
Why is it so difficult to concentrate while talking when there is a echo and is it related to why it’s so annoy when someone repeats everything you say while you are talking... or is that just me?
@@Markle2k This got me thinking about the physics of flow around boat hulls. The longer the hulls the more water gets pulled along with it so the lower the apparent velocity is for the "downstream" parts of the hull so each successive part of the hull sees less resistance.
I would like to hear some cool facts about pikes, I know alot myself but there might be some I don't and because it's a realy facinating predator fish.
it seems like the worst strategy ever, giving predators a nice big group of prey they can spot and strike at without trying to chase down on particular individual. its like concentrating food in one convenient area for predators, so it always struck me as weird that so many fish do this.
Has anyone thought about translating this psychological study to human society? How individuals who are more isolated, can become more narcissistic. How different country life is compared to city life. How different people psychologically develop with these different environments and different levels of ego and self awareness. I believe there to be studies on how humans live longer and are happier the more social they are.
@@ArawnOfAnnwn yet scientists use rats to help study human psychological behavior. You got to remember that we share this planet, that is flying through an endless universe, with these animals. The life created on this planet share many similar patterns. We can always compare the primitive aspect of human psychology and compare it to the primitive psychology of the animals around us. It's not so much a translation of what is and isnt. It's a thought provoking idea that could possibly lead to the truth. Anyways, yes us humans are also animals. Imagine if you came from another galaxy and observed this planet. I doubt they care we use our opposable thumbs. They'll still see us as dumb earth animals. Though, that is my personal opinion.
@@c.g.silver8782 indeed. I've also heard of this. More so heard of it on the emotional implications. That they tend to be less happy. Which makes them less sociable. But maybe you're on to something, that they tend to be less sociable which then creates a less of a happy individual. 🤔
Not really. The use of the word 'school' as a verb rather than a noun might be momentarily confusing, but it doesn't require the reader to re-evaluate the function of any other word in the sentence, e.g. 'fish' remains a noun, not a verb.
@@sohopedeco That would have been a pretty unnatural way to parse it in the first place. 'Why do...?" is idiomatic in English for "What is the reason that ...?"

Their lateral line helps them sense vibrations, which they would probably use to help orient themselves in relation to their school/shoal mates.
@@ZombieBarioth kinda like how it helps orient themselves from swimming upside down, sideways, or crooked. It has duel purpose, it seems
Oh that's interesting. I had just assumed schooling helped fish sense the environment around them quicker, and that their lateral line system allowed their movements to sync up so well.
What's really amazing is all the little fish diplomas

Wait, so fish actually congregate to form a school? Where I live, most schools are doing remote learning.
fish don’t social distance :/

To the guy who designs the backgrounds on hank, I appreciate you. It’s just the right amount of visual interest

I never realized how much I needed an answer to this question.... until now!
Because they want to get smarter!!
(I, too, will find the exit.)
This seems like a correlation =/ causation thing. What if solo fish are solo because they were already stressed or less healthy for other reasons?
So that a whale comes in and eat the whole school.
.
"You know, I'm not scared to die if we do all together", said a little fish.
Was about to comment that they aren’t talking about plankton, then I remembered Dolphins and Orcas are whales so joke’s on me.
We hope all of This Team is having fun. So very important to share "Truths" w I th heart felt humor. B l essings.

Isn't it supposed to be vortices rather than vortexes. But I'm not the judge of that because I'm not a native English speaker.
