Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason why the benthic freshwater fishes and marine pelagic fishes differ in their reproduction.
Introduction: The process of producing new individual organisms is termed as reproduction. In fishes, the most common mode of reproduction is oviparous. The term oviparous indicates laying of eggs outside the body and the eggs get deposited in the surrounding environment.
