Do fish sleep?

Is there a type of fish that sleep?

Is it particularly interesting?

Most fish do "rest" though it might be different than sleep as we're used to it. There are some fish that HAVE to swim, because this is the only way for them to breath. However, they might still be resting, we just don't know how the mechanism works.
