科學圖說 Introduction
萬頭鑽動的小丑魚卵。小丑魚會將魚卵產在海葵下方或旁邊的礁石，公母魚都會負責照顧，利用胸鰭搧動水流增加魚卵帶氧量，也將發育不全的卵搧走。而這些眼睛已經發育完整的魚卵，正準備孵化進入海洋中。
Clownfish lay thousands of eggs under anemones or next to the them on reef rocks. Male and female clownfish both take care of the eggs, using their pectoral fins to fan the water, increasing the flow of oxygen around the eggs. This also removes eggs that are not developing well. The eyes of these embryos are evident as they are ready to hatch.
