Just like in any other species the female releases a set number of eggs. that is the most she can have as the number of eggs released. And just like in any other animal including people the sperm determines the sex. That is why when looking at potential fertility of a female you are supposed to look at the  mother's line.  Mother, grandmother, great grandmother ect.
