Description
This is what a huge baitball looks like from above! Just incase you have ever wondered!
FYI, a baitball occurs when small fish swarm in a tightly packed spherical formation about a common centre. It is a last-ditch defensive measure adopted by small schooling fish when they are threatened by predators. Small schooling fish are eaten by many types of predators, and for this reason they are called bait fish or forage fish.

Seems the little critters have a degree of intelligence and social sense. I have never heard the term bait ball. Thanks for the education! :-)
