Well, glatt, glad you asked.

"A bait ball, or baitball, occurs when small fish swarm in a tightly packed spherical formation about a common centre. It is a last-ditch defensive measure adopted by small schooling fish when they are threatened by predators."

It's spelled "centre" and is probably spoken with an intellectual sounding British or Australian accent, so you know it's legitimate.

Note the last picture on the right, there's a hole in the bait ball where a shark has situated him/herself. The bait ball moves like a murmuration of birds.
