Fish reproduce in many ways, including egg laying, viviparous and hatching. The following is a detailed introduction to fish breeding the next generation:
Oviparous reproduction:
Male fish and female fish mate, the male fish releases sperm, and the female fish produces eggs, which are fertilized to form eggs.
The eggs are usually laid by the female or in a suitable environment (such as sediment, aquatic plants or sand washes).
After a certain period of time, the eggs hatch into young fish, which are usually called larvae.
After hatching, the larvae usually need to rely on the nutrients in the yolk sac to grow. Some fish will also engage in ovophagy and eat unhatched egg shells.
Most fish reproduce by laying eggs. The process of laying eggs is usually divided into the following steps:
Viviparous reproduction:
Some fish, such as sharks and viviparous fish, reproduce viviparously.
Viviparous fish develop by absorbing nutrients provided by their mothers and usually have relatively complete survival capabilities after birth.
Some fish reproduce viviparously, with the embryo developing inside the mother's body and giving birth directly to young fish.
Hatching and breeding:
For example, some mouth-brooding fish will lay eggs and then incubate the eggs in their mouths. After the eggs hatch into larvae, they will take care of and protect the larvae through oral hatching.
Some fish will lay eggs during the reproduction process. These eggs usually do not need to be hatched in the external environment, but hatch inside the mother's body and directly produce young fish.
Different species of fish have different reproduction methods, and some also have special reproductive behaviors. The reproductive process of fish plays a vital role in maintaining the stability of the population and adapting to the living environment. In the field of aquaculture and scientific research, the study of fish reproduction methods is also of great significance.
