Do mermaids lay eggs underwater or give birth to live young?

Let's pretend these magnificent and beautiful creatures are able to reproduce asexually so we can forget about their mating habits or their partners.
I have yet to witness any hard shell eggs laid underwater by any species and most mammals like to bear live offspring even underwater, just like whales and dolphins. Sea turtles prefer to bury their hard shell eggs in the sand on the beach partly because these eggs need certain temperature to develop.
Is it possible to have soft shell mermaids egg/spore in the sea/ocean?
