cardume
Explanation:
school é cardume, mas o problema é que em português não existe o verbo correspondente. Talvez você tenha de mudar a frase ou dizer the os bluefish estão se agrupando, ou que um grande cardume de bluefish está se movimentando.....

agree  isarcat: Schooling is not a verb in English either :) Pode-se dizer que os peixes formam um cardume talvez, ou arranjam-se em cardume...hmmm..
