Some fish have stinging spines or barbs. When used against smaller sharks, they can be moderately effective. Overall, the fish with the most successful defenses will hide themselves in between rocks or in small crevices. Other fish will start spinning in a large sphere with other fish. There will still be fish picked out of the sphere, but they stand a better chance here than they would darting out on their own. Their protection comes more from behavior than from a body structure.
