Shoal of Fish (Below Zero)
Certain species of passive fauna in Below Zero sometimes gather together in shoals, indicating that they are most likely juveniles. Usually Shoals of Fish appear closer to the surface but certain species will swarm. The species in a Shoal will flee from the player when approached. The player can break up a Shoal by swimming through it, but the fish will swarm again once the danger is over.
While Shoals of Fish cannot normally be interacted with, it is possible to use the Propulsion Cannon and the Prawn Suit Propulsion Cannon to grab and move the Shoal of Fish.
