Summary Introduction

To explain:

The reason for the dispersal of female eggs of fish peacock wrasse (Symphodus tinca) with eggs of other female fishes in the same nest and explain the trade-off.

Concept introduction:

The female species of fish peacock wrasse (Symphodus tinca) lays the eggs in the nest of the other species to protect the eggs from getting damaged and from the action of other predators. The eggs of fishes which hatch survive and have a long expectancy of survival. The laying of the eggs in various seasons is necessary for the survival of species of the fishes. This maintains the population number and the size of the species of these fishes.
