Keel M. Posted July 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) I admit that it's a bit weird to talk about them being living breathing beings because most of the time they're spoken of only as a delicacy, but there's a massive school of anchovies off the coast of California. School of anchovies resembles oil slick Edited July 9, 2014 by Child of Bast 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuriousRey Posted July 9, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 9, 2014 No need to worry, it's just dominos herding the anchovies to their ultimate pizza demise! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuriousRey Posted July 9, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 9, 2014 They're safe from me. Likewise, i'll stick to the usual non fishy toppings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundew Posted July 10, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Mmmm, salty deliciousness! Caesar salad, anyone? BTW, it's not a good idea to swim through schools of bait fish, you never know if your arm or leg might be mistaken for a snack by a shark or barracuda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calibeliever Posted July 10, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 10, 2014 What an extremely cool video. It's not rare to see large schools of anchovies in the waters off San Diego though (they feed those yummy Bonita which become my tacos mmmm). What's unusual is for the water to be 74 degrees. That's really high for La Jolla, even in July. Is it El Nino this year? I haven't been keeping track since I moved inland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When scuba diving a huge school of thousands of cigar minnows swam past us. It's cool they way they open a hole for you and close it back up again within inches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted July 10, 2014 #14 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Do they ever brush against you Michelle? Not a single one. That's what is so amazing about. You'd think at least one would be out of sync but they move in perfect unison. We did think about the fact that something much, much larger could be chasing them.

Most sharks actually aren't dangerous...gotten fairly close to many of them. I worry about more critters on dry land than I do underwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
