Best Answer

Fish eggs do not evaporate in the air.

Eventually, almost instantly, the fish inside the egg will die.

That's when the egg is just left.

AnswerWell actually, it all depends on the species of fish eggs that you are talking about. You see, fish eggs such as salmonid eggs (salmon, char, trout) do indeed sink. These are called benthic eggs, for they stay in the benthic zone of the water. However other species of fish, such as the striped bass, produce eggs that float. These are called pelagic eggs, for they are suspended in water columns in the pelagic zone of the water. Floating essential to striped bass survival. For, if the eggs sink they will not get the level of oxygen required for proper development and will die.
