• The main difference between fertility and fecundity is that the fertility is a natural capacity of reproduction whereas fecundity is the potential of reproduction. Furthermore, the fertility rate is the average number of offspring a female can give birth to while fecundity is the willingness as well as the healthiness of a female to produce its offspring in several times.
