Fish living in schools exhibit a clumped distribution pattern, where individuals are grouped closely together in specific areas. This behavior offers benefits such as protection from predators, improved foraging success, and reproduction opportunities.

Hatchet fish populations are not considered endangered. They are widely distributed in oceans worldwide and are not currently facing significant threats to their population numbers.
No, striped bass do not live in all the oceans. They are primarily found along the Atlantic coast of North America, from the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Canada to Florida. Some populations migrate between freshwater rivers and saltwater environments, but their distribution is limited to this specific region rather than being widespread across all oceans.
Regulations protect fish populations in oceans by allowing certain seasons for fishing different species. Shrimpers for instance, have a few months in which they are allowed to have their nets in the water. In my state, if you catch a Red Fish under 24 inches or over 36 inches you must release them. These regulations are important to protect their population and allow fish for our future generations.
A population would be geographically isolated in areas such as islands, mountaintops, or remote valleys where physical barriers like oceans, mountains, or deserts prevent easy gene flow with other populations.
