Each spawning-age female can release up to 15,000 eggs at once. Snakeheads can mate as often as five times a year. This means in just two years, a single female can release up to 150,000 eggs." [7] "Since 2002, it has been illegal to possess a live snakehead in many U.S. states, where they are considered a destructive invasive species."
Male seahorses have a specialized ventral brood pouch to carry the embryos, male sea dragons attach the eggs to their tails, and male pipefish may do either, depending on their species. [4] The most fundamental difference between the different lineages of the family Syngnathidae is the location of male brood pouch. [ 5 ]
Capture (blue) and aquaculture (green) production of Striped snakehead (Channa striata) in thousand tonnes from 1950 to 2022, as reported by the FAO [6]Channa striata, the striped snakehead, is a species of snakehead fish.
Garter snakes are closely related to the genus Nerodia (water snakes), with some species having been moved back and forth between genera. Garter snakes have been found to be one of the few species of snakes in the world to be both venomous and poisonous; both, however, are medically insignificant to the point that even affecting a human baby ...
When a female dies a juvenile (male) anemone fish moves in, and "the resident male then turns into a female and reproductive advantages of the large female–small male combination continue". [22] In other fishes sex changes are reversible. For example, if some gobies are grouped by sex (male or female), some will switch sex. [14]: 164 [21]

Capture (blue) and aquaculture (green) production of Channa micropeltes in thousand tonnes from 1950 to 2022, as reported by the FAO [2]. Channa micropeltes, giant snakehead, giant mudfish or toman harimau, is among the largest species in the family Channidae, capable of growing to 1.3 m (4.3 ft) in length and a weight of 20 kg (44 lb).

Courtship between male and female pipefish involves lengthy and complicated shows of display. For example, in Syngnathus typhle, copulation is always preceded by a ritualized dance by both sexes. The dance involves very conspicuous wriggling and shaking motions, especially in comparison to the species' otherwise extremely secretive lifestyle.
