I think there’s probably an initial shock moment for the fish and of course pools are enclosed.

I’ve come across wrasse and other small fish while wading pools at night for spider crab and they do seem disoriented and not quite sure where to go - I guess it’s a totally alien thing to them and not part of the natural order!

Eventually they retreat to another part of the pool and I just do my best to ease past without disturbing anything too much.
