1) Term used to denote the process where fish, and other water dwelling organisms, deposit and fertilize eggs during reproduction. 2) The term has been adopted in video games, especially first-person shooters. In its most basic sense, the phrase simply means any shooting game with a first person perspective (which would mean games like Unreal, Quake, Doom, and many combat flight simulators, etc.). In this context, spawning is the creation of a player's avatar in the game. This occurs at the beginning of the round or immediately after being killed. Most games have "spawn points" scattered throughout the map, though in levels designed for team play, there may simply be two areas, one for each team. Some players will lie in wait around spawn points to kill players as they spawn, a practice known as spawn camping.
When female fish lay eggs and male fish fertilize the eggs.
The deposition of eggs and sperm such that they unite to form a fertilized egg.
The reproductive process for aquatic organisms which involves producing or depositing eggs or discharging sperm.
The direct release of sex cells into the water.
The production or depositing of eggs by fish.
The process of laying eggs and fertilizing them. Salmon spawn in fresh water and die afterwards.
The time when female fish release eggs to be fertilized by sperm from the male fish. Fish, amphibians, and other animals can travel great distances to spawn. Salmon often go thousands of miles to lay from 2,000 to 10,000 eggs.
To release and fertilize eggs, as done by a number of aquatic species (fish, oysters, etc.) to reproduce.
the process of depositing eggs
the act of depositing eggs and producing young.
The act of mating for shellfish and fish. Species - Group of animals or plants having common characteristics, able to breed together to produce fertile (capable of reproducing) offspring, and maintaining their 'separateness' from other groups.
Producing and releasing gametes (eggs or sperm). Oysters spawn from May to October in South Carolina. Males often spawn first and the presence of sperm in the water is a stimulant to the females. Gametes are released into the water where fertilization occurs.
The deposit of eggs (or roe) by fish and other aquatic life.
A term used for reproduction.
release of gametes into the water column; may be synchronous
The deposition of eggs and sperm by fish.
A form of sexual reproduction where microscopic eggs and sperm are discharged into the water column.
the activity in flowing water which involves one or more males in releasing milt containing sperm as eggs are released by a female of the same species.
The reproductive act of fish. In most fish external fertilization occurs, where the female deposits the eggs and the male simultaneously ejects milt that contains sperm which fertilizes the eggs.
in fish, the act of laying and fertilizing eggs.
the reproductive cycle for fish
A term that refers to the act of fish reproduction
The release of eggs by shrimp or fish. Eggs are usually broadcast and either sink to the bottom or drift as plankton.
