Marine eggs in thousands and millions for species survival
The text explains that marine animals must lay vast numbers of eggs to survive. It cites a cod at 5,000,000 eggs, a sturgeon near 7,000,000, and turbot over 14,000,000, with very few maturing. It notes lobsters release 8,000 to 75,000 eggs per clutch and only about one in 5,000 matures, while a oyster may spawn 90,000,000 in a season but yields one mature offspring per season on average.
