Fish life Cycle


In this post we will learn about fish , and a basic fish life cycle.Fish live their entire life in water.

  
A typical fish life cycle starts with an egg. The egg hatches into what is called a yolk sac fry - a larval stage where the fish has an attached yolk that provides it with nourishment for its first week or two.

The true larval stage begins when the fish has absorbed the yolk and starts feeding for it self.
When the fish gets bigger and looks very much like an adult, it is considered a juvenile.

Once the fish matures and can reproduce and lay eggs, it becomes an adult. 

I guess this post was useful, please send me your suggestions and comments. In the next post we will learn about fish respiratory system in detail.
