spawnings
Fish egg releases
Spawnings is the plural of spawning, the release of eggs and sperm by aquatic animals like fish or amphibians into the water for fertilization.
The term extends to any mass reproduction event: The salmon spawnings attract bears to the river each fall.
Figuratively, spawnings can describe the proliferation of anything: the spawnings of new tech startups in the valley.
