  •   Egg fertilization: Egg fertilization occurs when the male releases sperm to fertilize eggs laid by the female.
  •  Formation and growth: After the eggs are fertilized, they grow and hatch into small fish called cronoks.  Small fish require care during this vertebral stage of the fish’s life.

  •  Parental care: After hatching, the mother takes care of the larvae until they grow up and become able to live independently.
