A simple game-theoretic model for upstream fish migration, which is a key element in life history of diadromous fishes, is proposed. Foundation of the model is a minimization problem on the cost of migration with the swimming speed and school size as the variables to be simultaneously optimized. Finding the optimizer ultimately reduces to solving a self-consistency equation without explicit solutions. Mathematical analytical results lead to the sufficient condition that the self-consistency equation has a unique solution, which turns out to be identified with the condition where the unique optimizer exists. Behavior of the optimizer is analyzed both mathematically and numerically to show its biophysical and ecological consequences. The analytical results demonstrate reasonable agreement between the present mathematical model and the theoretical and experimental results of upstream migration of fish schools reported in the past research.
