Are fishes good parents?

چکیده
Parental care is not the rule in fishes. Most species are quite content to abandon their offspring to the vagaries of a world populated by organisms that are fond of eating nutritious little snacks such as eggs and fry. These non-parental fishes may show discrimination as to where the eggs are deposited (covered by gravel in salmon, in thick mats of weeds for some minnows, in open water downstream from the reef in some wrasses) but I would classify this as careful spawning, not parental care.

This has facilitated heterologous fertilization in many fishes and led to hybridization and polyploidization. Hybridization is performed both in the nature and domesticated fishes. Today, some of the hybrids have high growth rate than their paren...
