You'd think that there is a possibility for open water spawners and shallow water spawners to have their eggs picked up by waterfowl and carried along to other bodies of water. Open water spawn eggs are blown to shallows by wind, dabbling ducks inadvertently eat the eggs while foraging shallows. Ducks visit several bodies of water a day depositing eggs that have a slight chance to develop into swimming fish. It is an interesting experiment
Does anyone know how Cyprinid eggs compare to Centrarchidae in terms of hardiness? Maybe Cyprinids have some form of adaptation where their eggs are resistant to the digestive acids of waterfowl where as other fish do not. Idk just thinking aloud
Theo thats why wood edges are full of poke weed and black raspberries haha
