Collective nouns in English are very complicated, and although "shoal" is common for fish, there is also
A company of angel fish / archer fish
A battery of barracudas
A fleet of bass
A school of cod
A troop of dogfish
A flotilla of swordfish
A bind of salmons.....
There are many more, and the best site I could find of these is

Note the "gaggle of geese" and the "gaggle of women"
