Fish Reproduction

In terms of underwater species, there is generally less information about their reproductive systems than many other terrestrial animals due to the fact that they are more difficult to research and observe underwater. Although there may be less information, common fish reproduction mating systems have been observed that range from monogamous and polygamous systems to hermaphroditism. Oftentimes, it is difficult to label mating patterns of fish and many fish species fall within a continuum of mating systems dependent upon the current environmental conditions.
