This might be a minor issue, but here goes:

What did you do?

Have radar revealing one chunk, and another chunk next to it permanently revealed using roboborts.

What happened?

The fish gathered at a line at the edge of a chunk, not moving.

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!

Fish are distributed and move randomly.

Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?

I've only noticed it this one time.

I think this can happen as a result of a behavior described here Fish don't move when there is no player nearby

If a player stay immobile for a while next to a body of water.

Possibly, but this is all happening in remote view. I have never had an actual player near that area, they left the planet when my base was much much smaller.

And they should start moving again once revealed.

Remote view counts as a “player nearby”

Aren't they doing so when your character goes nearby ?

I couldn't resist showing off the fish pond i been studying this is when i'm away on another planet and looking using remote view :



They look like broken fish, but they only need a little attention and :



wiggly fish !

They aren't moving when I am viewing them remotely.

If it helps, I'm sometimes running the game with my player in it, and sometimes in a server with no players (because the GUI freezes when I switch users on macOS).
