Via the wonders of image recognition, a miniature, battery powered motorboat speeds to and fro, tracing the erratic movements of a green Texas cichlid inches under it. A regatta of small sailboats makes petite waves as they flit in formation, mimicking the random darts of a pisces school in the aquarium
depths. At the other end, a scaled down fishing boat trolls with faux hooks, trailing and never quite catching the pink tailed chalceus that idly swims below.

Speed boat with skier follows the zebra danios. |

A freediver plunges into the depths, unsuccessfully pursues a fish, and return to the surface, remaining vigilant for boat traffic until it is time for the next attempt. Story of my life, anyway :-) |

I can't help but think this would induce an unnecessary sense of paranoia in the poor fishies, which would probably prove to be a strain upon their digestion. Software developers have developed a simulation that accurately mimics the grouping/swarming behaviors of flocks of birds; perhaps similar routines could be written for the robotic waterfleet to follow without actually having to bother the local fauna. |

would each boat follow just one fish? |

Fish in the wild school, and different species keep company. Acclimation overcomes initial responses. |

Perhaps some more aggressive or shy breeds could not handle it - other's wouldn't care. |

[po] Yes, they'll try to. |
