You are a pelican searching for fish in the ocean from high in the sky. although you see no tasty fish in the open ocean, you soon pass over a series of protected lagoons around an island. each lagoon contains lots of your favorite fish. as you begin descending into one lagoon, you notice that the fish are aggregated into several schools. some of these schools are close to each other, while others are far apart, and you cannot determine any consistent pattern in the distance between the schools. as you descend even closer to the water above a single school, you notice that each fish is approximately the same distance from each other fish. beginning from where you first saw the fish, describe, in order, what patterns of dispersion you noticed the fish exhibiting.

The pelican, has the eyesight of an eagle when fishing for food, as the bird flies closer to the school of fish. It sees the difference of the pattern by the scales that it sees and the reflective of the light of the sun. It catches the one that is easily catching up slowly to the school of fishes.
