The phrase "adhesive eggs" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, cooking, or materials science, where eggs are described as having adhesive properties.
Example: "The adhesive eggs of the frog stick to the leaves, providing protection for the developing embryos."
Alternatives: "sticky eggs" or "glue-like eggs".
Those species of clupeiforms with adhesive eggs produce more eggs than do those with free-floating eggs.
Some female callichthyid catfish carry eggs on the abdomen only for fertilization; others deposit their adhesive eggs in froth nests and guard them.
The loricariid catfishes employ various methods; some lay adhesive eggs in cavities, others carry them under the lower lip, and a few deposit them on rocks, where they are cleaned, fanned, and guarded by the male.
All atheriniforms are characterized by the production of few, large, adhesive eggs, by mating in pairs, usually accompanied by sexual dimorphism (i.e., the sexes markedly different), and many groups exhibit various reproductive specializations, the most advanced of which is viviparity (the production of functional young, instead of eggs).
The female lays the large adhesive eggs as a mat on the spawning surface, which the male fertilises.
Recent molecular studies (E. M. Fitzcharles, BAS, unpublished data) have confirmed previous observations (Everson et al. 2001) that C. gunnari lay adhesive demersal eggs that form clusters, and dispersal during the egg phase is therefore highly unlikely.
The puncture was sealed with an adhesive tape and eggs were re-incubated.
It was not possible to detect a possible protein adhesive, for example egg white or animal glue, because of the leather presence on the samples.
Bowfin eggs are adhesive, and will attach to aquatic vegetation, roots, gravel, and sand.
Fertilized eggs are adhesive and demersal, therefore if incubation is to take place in a flow-through hatching jar, the eggs must be treated to prevent clumping.
