Ichthyoplankton (from Greek: ἰχθύς, ikhthus, "fish"; and πλαγκτός, planktos, "drifter" [ 1]) are the eggs and larvae of fish. They are mostly found in the sunlit zone of the water column, less than 200 metres deep, which is sometimes called the epipelagic or photic zone. Ichthyoplankton are planktonic, meaning they cannot swim ...
Marine fish can produce high numbers of eggs which are often released into the open water column. The eggs have an average diameter of 1 millimetre (0.039 in). The eggs are generally surrounded by the extraembryonic membranes but do not develop a shell, hard or soft, around these membranes. Some fish have thick, leathery coats, especially if ...
Tobiko. Tobiko (とびこ) is flying fish roe in Japanese cuisine, known for its use in sushi. [1] The eggs are small, ranging from 0.5 to 0.8 mm.

Roe, (/ roʊ / ROH) or hard roe, is the fully ripe internal egg masses in the ovaries, or the released external egg masses, of fish and certain marine animals such as shrimp, scallop, sea urchins and squid. As a seafood, roe is used both as a cooked ingredient in many dishes, and as a raw ingredient for delicacies such as caviar.
The diets of adult longear (longer than 102 mm) are composed of terrestrial insects (37%), fish (31%), aquatic insects (21%), and fish eggs (7%). [4] Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and wading birds are all natural predators to the longear sunfish. [12] Smaller species of longear can be preyed on by larger sunfish populations.
The pie is usually made with fresh and smoked fish (for example, cod, haddock, salmon or halibut) or seafood in a white sauce [1] or cheddar cheese sauce made using the milk the fish was poached in. [citation needed] Hard-boiled eggs are a common additional ingredient. [citation needed] Parsley or chives are sometimes added to the sauce.

He concludes by talking all about how we must all work hard in order to preserve the beauty of the coral reef. Suddenly, Nemo ...
