I can see how the evolutionary advantage of such hardened eggs would be huge!
Evolved so they *only* hatch after passing through the digestive system of a waterfowl might be a good evolutionary trick to avoid inbreeding.
Your eggs won't hatch until they're well away from your relatives.
Right, as long as you can still get out.
I would think that would lead to a lot of inbred fish
