Chapter 173 Suspicion

```

After fertilization, a female fish will lay tens of thousands of eggs each year.

In the wild, the hatching rate of fish eggs is 10%, whereas with human intervention, the hatching rate can be significantly increased, but it generally falls between 30% and 70%.

This is because, during fish mating, not every egg is guaranteed to be fertilized successfully, and a small portion of the eggs will become dead or deformed from the time they are laid until they hatch.

So even with artificial breeding, the normal hatching rate for fish eggs usually only reaches about half, and if it gets to seventy percent, that would be considered extraordinarily lucky.

Now Tian Yuan told him that the hatching rate of these eggs had reached ninety-nine percent, and Qin Shaoyou was completely dumbfounded.
