Fecundity: The number of eggs produced per female per unit time, often: per spawning season.
· Fecundity = number of eggs that a ♀ animal lays
· Filament = the fine and elongated slender appendage ...
Year round planulation occurs with a fecundity rate doubled during summer as compared to winter.
For a period of time it was thought that the male releases the spermatozoids in the water, near the female`s genital area, but due to research it was discovered that the fecundation is internal not external.
They reproduce quickly and with high fecundity (the number of offspring produced by an organism). As a function of their investment into the creation of many offspring, organisms invest only a minimal amount of resources into each offspring.
Fancy guppies have very short reproductive lives (often being "old" by nine months of age), they swim only with labor, and have lowered fecundity. They also are prone to "death without known causes".
