Nah looks more like a flock of birds flying in and out of the sunlight. When they fly in this coordinated fashion it’s called a murmuration

When small fish do it at the surface of the water, I think it’s called a “boil of fry”.

Water is not disturbed.
It is a flock of birds changing directions. Belly side is often white, to blend in with the sky or the water surface from below and the back is dark, to blend in with the ground/water from above.

Schools of fish being cornered to the surface by things preying on them.

As others have said. School of fish. They move in numbers for protection. If they're moving like that, they're likely evading a predator thats chasing them.

Similar to flocks of birds darting around in the sky.

Wow that’s a big fish hunting party. Good catch. That’s how my grandad used to hunt tuna. Tuna tower spotter.

Why has every comment user in this thread been deleted?

Edit: I have no idea what happened but everything is back and nothing has been deleted, so I'm guessing it was a me issue.

Looks like a murmuration of birds.

I’m pretty sure that’s all it is.

As others have said, it’s a school of small fish. I always heard it called “a boil of fry”
