If 5 out of every 100 eggs survive to adulthood, this means that 5% of the eggs hatch and survive. Therefore, if the fish lays 5000 eggs, 5% of 5000 or 250 eggs will survive to adulthood.
most of the eggs will not survive ...
fish eggs and young fish tend to have many predators that want to eat them so many of them don't survive. By laying large amounts of eggs, adult fish increases the probabilty that one of those eggs will survive to grow into a full grown fish and reproduce.
It is common to have around 200 fry from a single spawning.
Because so many are eaten or damaged, so the more eggs the more chance of survival
It is estimated that less than 1% of fish eggs typically survive to adulthood due to predation, competition, and environmental factors. Therefore, out of 7 million eggs, only around 70,000 may survive to maturity.
Do you mean "Why do fish lay so many eggs at one time? The reason fish lay so many eggs at one time is survival. The more eggs that a female lays the better chance more eggs will have a chance to survive.
Marlin and Coral had many eggs because, in the wild, fish produce a large number of eggs to increase the chances of at least some surviving to adulthood. This is a survival strategy to offset the high mortality rates that eggs and young fish face from predators and environmental factors.
around one in every 100 million eggs will survive to adulthood. They have around 1000 million eggs in a lifetime.
Of the many eggs fish lay, very few reach adulthood. The eggs are preyed on by many aquatic creatures, and the hatched fry are still in danger of being eaten. Only by laying so many eggs can the species have a chance of surviving.
becUSE ONCE THEY LAY EGG THEY DONT TAKE CARE OF IT. THE EGG IS ON ITS SELF SO ONLY SOME EGGS SURVIVE THATS WHY EGGS LAY ALOT OF EGGS
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.
