Abstract
Schooling, swimming in structured formation, as observed in Euphausia superba (Antarctic krill), requires a system of communication between individuals. A review of the available data on eyes and mechanorecepto rs and their performance in euphausiids and a side glance at schooling in fish illustrates the relative role of vision and mechanoreception in the control of this behavior.
