Hermaphroditism - Having both male and female sexual organs and sexual characteristics.
Protogynous - Having female reproductive organs come to maturity first and then the male.
Protandrous - Having male reproductive organs come to maturity first and then the female.
Intromittent organ  - The male copulatory organ of an organism.
Spawning - The process where there is a release of eggs and sperms by sexually mature male and female fish.
Semelparous -  Having one reproductive episode before its death.
Iteroparous - Having many reproductive cycles throughout its life.
Pelagic eggs - Eggs that are able to float.
Demersal eggs - Eggs that sink.
Ovoviviparity - The young receive no nutrients from its mother even though there is live bearing.
Viviparity - The eggs develop whilst receiving nutrients from parents and the fish gives birth to live young.
Pseudoplacenta - Forms from the ovarian follicle found in some cyprinids.
Branchialplacenta - When the ovary forms highly vascularised folds that would make contact with the gills of the developing embryos.

2. Acoustical cues - fish can modify their vocalisation using their swim bladder, pectoral fins, teeth or sonic muscles for drumming sound

3. Low frequency Mechanosensory cues - lateral displays and quivering in courtship and agonistic encounters

4. Chemical cues - endogenous steroid hormones act as sex pheromones that increase physiological and behavioural competence and help to synchronise gamete release]]> 2021-08-11 05:06:04 UTC https://padlet.com/stahlmannsarah/k93g835q5fxggh97/wish/1675037420 200146891 https://padlet.com/stahlmannsarah/k93g835q5fxggh97/wish/1675037887 Process where sexually mature male and female fish release their eggs and sperm to undergo fertilization and produce offspring]]> 2021-08-11 05:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/stahlmannsarah/k93g835q5fxggh97/wish/1675037887 200146891 https://padlet.com/stahlmannsarah/k93g835q5fxggh97/wish/1675038343 2021-08-11 05:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/stahlmannsarah/k93g835q5fxggh97/wish/1675038343 200146891 https://padlet.com/stahlmannsarah/k93g835q5fxggh97/wish/1675039028 Most commercial fish species lack parental care ]]> 2021-08-11 05:07:41 UTC https://padlet.com/stahlmannsarah/k93g835q5fxggh97/wish/1675039028 https://padlet.com/stahlmannsarah/k93g835q5fxggh97/wish/1675039267 2021-08-11 05:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/stahlmannsarah/k93g835q5fxggh97/wish/1675039267 https://padlet.com/stahlmannsarah/k93g835q5fxggh97/wish/1675039796 - Abdomen of fish is massaged from anterior(nearer to head) to posterior(nearer to rear).

- no harm is done to the fish
- air stripping is preferred over hand stripping due to less damage to eggs, allowing more eggs to hatch. https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/10/1/97/htm]]> 2021-08-11 05:08:44 UTC https://padlet.com/stahlmannsarah/k93g835q5fxggh97/wish/1675039966 https://padlet.com/stahlmannsarah/k93g835q5fxggh97/wish/1675040253 - slitting the belly of the fish to allow retrieval of eggs or collection of milt easily. 
- Can either be done with the intention of sacrificing it or allowing it to live by stitching back the cut. 
- this method can be preferred as hand stripping and air stripping is difficult for some species of fish that do not have an ovarian sac such as sturgeon and paddlefish.
