Where are fish eggs most commonly found in a lake? along the shore, in the middle?

Question

I have to create an ecological study for a class, and im doing the effects of nutrients on fish eggs. Where are fish eggs most commonly found in a still body of water, i.e. a lake. Or, better yet, is there a practical way to control where fish lay their eggs without doing a separate experiment with tanks or the like?

Answer 1

I'd imagine most are near the shore so they don't get eaten. Fish hide their eggs in gravel, water weeds etc. Some bear their young alive.

Answer 2

along the shore inbetween the gravel or water plants
if it was in the open other fish would eat them

and when they hatch ,the fry is safer in the heavy warm water ,that is loaded with gasses from decomposing plant matter on the shore ,because big fish cannot breathe there ,and plenty of places to hide

in my ponds i put clay roof tiles under water along the edge for small stuff like shrimps and fry to hide from hungry bigger fish and algea rows on the top which is fish food

Answer 3

mostly in still waters fish eggs are found in the mid part, specifically near aquatic plants. they don leave them in open near the shores. so look for it in the mid

Answer 4

I think they are found along the shore. They are hidden in some aquatic plants.
