"Yes! Fish eggs are jelly-like in texture. There are two different ways fish moms give birth. Some will lay their eggs in a safe, hidden environment where the eggs can grow safely in a nest. Others will keep the fertilized eggs in their bellies, until they hatch inside them and give birth."
Yes, most fish lay their eggs in water. This is because fish require water for their eggs to hatch and develop. The water helps protect the eggs and provides the necessary oxygen and nutrients for the developing embryos.
Bayb fish start off as Embryos then Wrigglers, then Fry.
"Eyed eggs" typically refers to fish eggs that have developed visible embryos, often seen in certain species like trout or salmon. This stage indicates that the eggs are fertilized and developing, with the eyes of the embryos becoming discernible. In aquaculture, the presence of eyed eggs is a positive sign, as it indicates successful breeding and development.
Fish have a reproductive process that involves external fertilization, not live birth like mammals. When fish lay eggs, they are typically fertilized externally by the male fish releasing sperm over the eggs. There is no umbilical cord involved in the development of fish embryos.
what is the source of nourishment for developing fish embryos?
vagina
The embryo develops not in the wombYour species may vary. Mammalian embryos develop within the uterus of their mothers. Bird and reptile embryos develop inside eggs. Some oviparous embryos develop inside eggs inside their mothers. In some fish and seahorses, the eggs laid by the female, but carried by the males in a pouch and the embryos develop within him.
Fish develop externally, meaning that fertilization and embryonic development occur outside of the parent fish's body. The eggs are often released into the water where fertilization takes place, and the embryos develop independently until they hatch.
Fish and most other aquatic animals release their sperm and eggs into the water. The female fish lays the eggs first. The male then swims over them and releases sperm onto them. The eggs and sperm are fertilized outside of the fish's body, in the water.
An obvious reason is that the fertilised fish egg must survive and grow independent of the mother's nourishment, whereas human embryos grow within the womb and are nourished directly and continuously by the mother. The human egg therefore doesn't require a store of nutrients, whereas the fish egg must contain all the energy the growing fish embryo will require until it hatches.
No, they would not hatch or develop embryos.
The male seahorse is the only known fish species where the male becomes pregnant and carries the embryos until they are born. The female deposits her eggs into the male's brood pouch, where they are fertilized and develop until birth.
