Fish often rest, sometimes even having long periods of inactivity, when
they can be said to be conserving energy. For example, a lot of midwater
fish rest all day long in midwaters, moving to surface waters at night to
do their hunting. Others rest at night and do their hunting, mating and
other activities by day, just like we do.
