Abstract

We describe the BNH-Whale algorithm, which simulates a method of catching schooling fish employed by humpback whales called bubble net hunting. When this method is used, the fish are herded into a net of bubbles created by one or more whales. Modified flocking algorithms are used to guide whale and fish behaviour, with a relatively complex algorithm being used by the whales to trap and consume fish.
