Rays and skates swim in schools primarily for protection against predators, as being in a group can reduce the likelihood of any one individual being targeted. Additionally, schooling can enhance foraging efficiency, allowing them to locate and exploit food sources more effectively. Social interactions within these groups may also play a role in reproduction and mating behaviors. Overall, swimming in schools provides both safety and increased opportunities for survival.
