For Loggerhead Sea Turtles about 1 out of 1,000 hatchlings survive to adulthood and only 1 in 10,000 eggs survive to adulthood.
Hatchling turtles largely survive through huge numbers, in many areas less than 5% survive to adulthood.
Tadpoles are not likely to survive. That is the reason frogs lay so many eggs. By laying that many eggs, they increase the odds that a few will survive to adulthood.

None. All Octopuses eventually die in adulthood Another answer If the question was "how many octopuses survive until adulthood," there's a different answer. Under normal circumstances, any species produces just enough young to sustain the species, so each adult female octopus (most of which produce only one brood in their lifetimes) must produce two young that survive until adulthood. Out of a typical clutch of about 200,000 eggs, about 199,998 will die before reaching adulthood.
Because it increases the chance that the animals offspring survive into adulthood, if there are more eggs, there is more chance that one will not be predated on and survive.
Many animals lay hundreds of eggs in the hope that at least a few of them will survive to adulthood.

Because the mortality rate of baby alligators is extremely high. Somewhere between one in 15 and one in 30 survive to one year and less than that to adulthood.
No baby or adult can survive more than a few seconds without blood.

Many will not hatch, the ones that do, a good number of the young are not likely to survive in the wild to reach adulthood.
