Living objects are able to consume chemical energy and process informationindependently from others. However, living objects can coordinate to formordered groups such as schools of fish. This work considers these complexgroups as living materials and presents imaging-based experiments of laboratoryschools of fish to understand how this non-equilibrium activity affects themechanical properties of a group. We use spatial confinement to control themotion and structure of fish within quasi-2D shoals of fish. Using imageanalysis techniques, we make quantitative observations of the structures, theirspatial heterogeneity, and their temporal fluctuations. Furthermore, we utilizeMonte Carlo simulations to replicate the experimentally observed areadistribution patterns which provide insight into the effective interactionsbetween fish and confirm the presence of a confinement-based behavioralpreference transition. In addition, unlike in short-range interacting systems,here structural heterogeneity and dynamic activities are positively correlatedas a result of complex interplay between spatial arrangement and behavioraldynamics in fish collectives.
