Observations are collected in open sea or inside a large net set in shallow waters. Preliminary results concerning fish reactions show a modification of the school structure under a research vessel using acoustic devices for abundance measurements. The school structure, even when the fish is not disturbed, shows an irregular density distribution in opposition to the common belief.
