Abstract
Fish schools represent a biological form of self organization (synergetics): Fish don’t need a leader or external stimuli for their school organization.With the help of computer simulations we investigate the individual behaviour patterns which give rise to the self-organized movement of fish schools. Following the biology we modelled several basic behaviour patterns for the single fish in the school: attraction, repulsion, parallel orientation.Connecting these patterns with an averaging concept for the mixing of the influences of fish’s neighbours, we find simulated fish schools with the typical characteristics of real fish schools: a high degree of parallel orientation and a strong cohesion. Moreovers the nearest neighbour distance distribution of our model fish school is found to agree with that of real schools.
