Protection ! A 'school' of small fish swimming together presents a much larger target to predators than a sinlge fish would. Many predators are intimidated by potential prey that appears larger than itself. Additionally, the chances of surviving an attack by a predator are increased if you swim with other fish - as there's more targets for the attacker to aim at !
