underground noise emissions for marine mammals
Using experimental playback recordings of small watercraft, it was observed that the proportion of time manatees spent feeding, milling and travelling changed as a function of sound levels. When sound levels were highest, more time was spent in the directed, goal-orientated behaviours of feeding and travelling, whereas less time was spent milling

fourmiller / grouiller
This is not the sort of milling that involves grinding like flour, it is about a group of manatees moving around fairly fast and in a disorganised sort of way without actually going anywhere.

That should have been a semi-colon after "flour".

"Donning a worn Red Sox hat, polarized sunglasses, and an oversize white T-shirt (complete with a screen print of a manatee), Milisci points out “potatoes”—surfacing manatees—to the 10 snorkelers bobbing around the boat. It’s the off-season, the water is warm, and manatees are scattered about the shallows of Florida’s coast. But our group still encounters 10 or 12 of the animals on our three-hour tour, including a few mother-calf pairs milling around, vacuuming up sea grass amid the hodgepodge of dredged human-made canals, boat docks, seawalls, springs, and natural mangroves that encompass the bay."

batifoller / s'ébattre
puisqu'il s'agit de mouvements désordonnés... mais c'est peut-être un peu trop "humain"

Explication de "milling" sans traduction
Milling : Les individus remontent à la surface et se positionnent dans différentes directions. Le groupe change souvent de
direction et les intervalles entre les plongées sont variables mais courts. L’espacement du groupe est variable (Lusseau, 2004).
