Wake sorting, selective predation and biogenic mixing: potential reasons for high turbulence in fish schools
There has been debate about animals’ contribution to ocean circulation, called biomixing, or biogenic mixing. The energy input of schooling fish is significant but the eddies may be too small; so energy is dissipated as heat before impacting oceanic structure. I suggest that high turbulence caused b...
