a mechanism in which a declining small pelagic species joins schools of a more abundant one and is drawn into unfavorable habitat, amplifying out-of-phase fluctuations.

In fisheries science, school trap refers to a mechanism in which a declining small pelagic species joins schools of a more abundant one and is drawn into unfavorable habitat, amplifying out-of-phase fluctuations. This meaning comes from Bakun (1999) in Ecology Letters.[1]
