Consider a fish of a schooling species that has damage to its eyes (Fish X) compared to a fish of the same species that has healthy eyesight (Fish Y). Use the drop-down menus below to complete an argument about how the survival outcomes for these two fish may be different.

 

Fish Y would be

Schooling Behavior of Fish
"Schooling" is a behavior some fish use in which the individual fish swim together in a group. The school is typically made up of fish of a similar size with precise
spacing between each fish. There is no particular leader within the school of fish. Scientists think that all members of the school receive similar benefits from
swimming together. The benefits include protection from predators and increased feeding success. The drawing below shows one example of fish schooling.

Schooling fish use their senses to stay in a group formation as they swim. The main senses they use are visual cues and their lateral line systems. Lateral line
systems help the fish sense movement in the water around them.
