Did you know that not all fish defend their young?

Take the striped bass, for instance, a prolific breeder that can release up to 200,000 eggs.

With such a vast number, it's a numbers game - some are bound to survive.

On the flip side, consider a fish species that only produces 20 or 30 fry.

These parents fiercely guard their offspring, ensuring their survival and the continuation of their species.

A fascinating example is the mouth-brooding fish, where the male carries the eggs in his mouth.

In times of danger, the fry seek refuge in the father's mouth, a unique and effective defense strategy.
