Summary Introduction
To explain: The trade off in reproduction behavior in peacock wrasse (Symphodus tinca).
Concept introduction: Trade-off is a situational decision that involves losing or retreating one quality, quantity or property in order to gain the other aspects. In the evolutionary prospect in trade-off, the process of natural and sexual selection are in reference as the definitive critical factors.
In the Symphodus tinca or peacock wrasse, the females used to disperse out a number of its eggs far and wide from their nest and some eggs they keep in the nest. While only the latter ones used to receives the parental investment and care.
