This morning, on my Sunday morning swim at La Jolla Cove, about 1/2 mile from shore, I saw hundreds of fish schooling in a circle. the circle was about 20 feet in diameter, and the fish were running on a race track about 10 feet wide. The fish themselves were long — 24 ” or so — and torpedo-shaped, sliver with small, dark stripes on their sides, like bars. I looked them up when I returned, and I believe they were young California Barracuda. Here’s a link to a photo of barracuda schooling in the way that I saw: http://www.divemastercourses.com/wp-content/gallery/fauna-flora/Barracuda-school-circle.jpg.
