A large school of sardines (Sardina pilchardus) forms a swirling, circular pattern in clear blue ocean waters. The fish shimmer with a silver hue, tightly packed, creating a vortex shape. Surrounding the sardines are a few larger fish, visible against the deep blue background. The marine environment is calm, with soft light enhancing the vivid colors and dynamic movement of the sardines. This natural phenomenon often serves as both a defense mechanism and a feeding opportunity for predators.
