Asexual

Definition: Asexual reproduction involves the creation of offspring without the fusion of gametes (egg and sperm).

In Aquariums: Some aquatic organisms, such as certain shrimp species, have the ability to reproduce asexually. This means that they can produce offspring without the need for a mate. Asexual reproduction can involve processes like cloning or the development of embryos without fertilization. This reproductive strategy can be advantageous in environments where finding a mate may be challenging.
