    "abstract": "Universal scaling in the power-law size distribution of pelagic fish schools\nis established. The power-law exponent of size distributions is extracted\nthrough the data collapse. The distribution depends on the school size only\nthrough the ratio of the size to the expected size of the schools an arbitrary\nindividual engages in. This expected size is linear in the ratio of the spatial\npopulation density of fish to the breakup rate of school. By means of extensive\nnumerical simulations, it is verified that the law is completely independent of\nthe dimension of the space in which the fish move. Besides the scaling analysis\non school size distributions, the integrity of schools over extended periods of\ntime is discussed.",
