Every living organism reproduces in some way. Female fish generally lay their eggs before they are fertilized. The males then either deposit their sperm directly onto the eggs, though in a number of species, the males will deposit their sperm collectively into the water near the eggs, thus fertilizing whichever eggs the sperm comes in contact with.
