a robot anchovy with optional human remote control to shoal with the rest of them [realistic from the fish's point of veiw] and then switch on the remote and send it swimming in an unexpected direction and disrupt the fish, or perhaps move to the middle and move as a predator

follows

Wouldn't this idea be better used to shoal anchovies into a net? For fishing... though every now and then someone might end up with a robot anchovey on their pizza. |

I like the idea but I wish you had fleshed it our with a
description of schooling behavior, and perhaps the
application of high explosives. Have a fish flavored bun. |
