How do fish reproduce?

There are two kinds of sexual reproduction in fish: asexual and sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction involves a female laying eggs without mating. This is called parthenogenesis and occurs in species where there is no male in the species. This is also known as virgin birth.

How do fish make little ones?

If you have ever looked at a fish’s belly, you may have noticed a circular or oval depression called the genital pore. The genital pore is where the developing eggs and sperm meet. When a male fish finds a female, he inserts his penis into her genital pore and triggers an egg release. This combination of sperm and eggs then fertilize one another. The fertilized egg then migrates to the female’s body and is implanted in her body.

How does fish reproduce?

Fish reproduction is a complex process that includes fertilization, in which the male fish’s sperm fertilizes the female fish’s eggs; or internal fertilization, in which the male’s sperm enters the female fish’s body through her cloaca, a genital opening on the floor of the body cavity from which the fish excretes waste. After the eggs are fertilized, the embryos develop into larvae—or fish babies—in the female’s body.

How do fish make babies?

Most fish species reproduce with sexual reproduction. During sexual reproduction, one sex (either a male or female) produces sperm, and the other sex produces eggs. Fertilization occurs when the sperm meets the eggs in the water, and the resulting embryos develop into larvae.

How do fish make two babies?

Most fish reproduce sexually. They usually start by mating with a male, which releases sperm. The female then fertilizes her eggs internally. These fertilized eggs are then passed on to the fish's brood pouch. Once the eggs are there, the developing embryos continue to grow until they are about one day old. When the young fish hatch, they are ready to start life on their own. If more than one male mates with the same female, the result is called polygynandry.
