Can grass carp lay eggs? How to lay eggs?

Grass carp can lay eggs. Wild grass carp will reproduce and spawn on their own, but they need to meet some conditions first. Grass carp spawning first requires sexual maturity, and then when the water temperature is stable at about 18 degrees, grass carp will spawn in the running water. If these conditions are not met, grass carp will not reproduce and spawn. Grass carp raised in captivity may not be able to spawn by themselves because they do not meet the conditions of running water, but they can also spawn and reproduce artificially with the help of breeders.

1. Can grass carp spawn

? Grass carp is one of the common freshwater fish and one of the common fish in China. Wild grass carp will reproduce and spawn by itself, but grass carp spawning needs to meet certain conditions. One of the most important age conditions is that only sexually mature female grass carp have the ability to lay eggs, otherwise they can not reproduce. Grass carp spawning also needs to be in a suitable environment, generally speaking, when the water temperature is stable at about 18 degrees, grass carp can reproduce and spawn. Grass carp also needs to spawn in water with a certain flow rate, and there is no way to reproduce and spawn in still water. Grass carps

that can reproduce and spawn by themselves are generally wild grass carps, while many cultured grass carps can not reproduce by themselves, because the breeding ponds they live in can not meet the key condition of running water, they can only live in still water and carry out the process of artificial reproduction with the help of human beings.

2. How to spawn

grass carp has been introduced above. Grass carp will spawn, and wild grass carp will generally reproduce and spawn by itself. After the wild grass carp reaches the appropriate breeding season, because the surrounding water temperature is more suitable, the grass carp that has reached the age of sexual maturity can begin to breed. Sometimes their spawning is "stuffy", that is, the female grass carp does not come out of the water when laying eggs, but lays eggs in the water. Sometimes they lay eggs in the upper layer of the water. At this time, not only the female grass carp is in the upper layer of the water, but also the male grass carp will follow the female grass carp at the same time. The female fish will lay eggs in the process of chasing, which is also called "floating row".

Fish eggs and sperm will combine with each other in the water, and they will drift with the running water. Fertilized eggs will be hatched in a suitable environment. Generally speaking, fertilized eggs are easier to hatch in water at about 20 degrees.
