No, a fish typically reproduces through sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is not common in fish species.
The key component of evolution is reproduction of the species.

Sexual and asexual. Asexual reproduction can be done by itself without a partner -- bacteria can divide itself in order to reproduce. Sexual reproduction requires two individuals of a species (one male, one female). In this case, an egg must be fertilized by a sperm cell.sexual and asexual
They have less genetic diversity in their population.

Sexual reproduction is highly beneficial as it provides a means for beneficial genes to be rapidly shared through-out a species. You could look at it as a sort of communal evolution where one favourable trait can be extended to the whole of the species within a 'short' period of time. Sexual creatures are also (by virtue of their reproductive scheme) able to keep a sort of catalogue of genetic traits handy should conditions suddenly change and quick evolution be required. In asexual reproduction a favourable mutation would be the beginnings of a new species and would benefit only the direct descendants of the original mutation. Asexual reproduction however would allow a single individual to have children if isolated or unable to meet the precise conditions for mating. It frees the asexual reproducer from the cost of maintaining sexual equipment and reproductive scheduling, often a considerable expense. For these reasons asexual species are often robust and survivalists.
Reproduction occurs in two main types sexual and asexual. Asexual is the reproduction in which involves only one individual from a species. Most Asexual reproduction occur in single cell organisms. Example of asexual reproduction can be found in self pollinating plants. Sexual reproduction occurs when two individuals trade genetic information to produce a new individual for a species.

No, a fish typically reproduces through sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is not common in fish species.
Asexual reproduction means that animals or plants only have to have one of their species, as sexual reproduction means that they (or we) have to find someone of the opposite gender.
Sexual reproduction allows for genetic diversity through the combination of genetic material from two parents, leading to offspring with unique traits and increased adaptability to changing environments. This diversity can enhance the survival and evolution of a species.
They have less genetic diversity in their population.
Sexual reproduction helps evolution because it allows for changes to take place over generations. Without any reproduction, no evolution would occur because the species only sees change over time and generations, it cannot be seen in one lifetime. Plus, without reproduction, the species will become extinct.
