Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
Oncorhynchus tshawytscha | Egg | Incubation time | 95 [6°C], 71 [8°C], 55 [10°C], and 44 [12°C] | 95.0 days |
Oncorhynchus tshawytscha | Egg | Temperature for incubation | Eggs were fertilized and reared at 6, 8, 10 and 12°C | 6.0 °C |
Oncorhynchus tshawytscha | Egg | Degree-days for incubation | 550-570 [71 at 8°C and 55 at 10°C] | 560.0 °C * day |
Oncorhynchus tshawytscha | Larvae | Initial larval size | Mean fork length of 25.8 (25.7, 25.9) at 6°C, 25.6 (25.4, 25.8) at 8°C, 24.9 (24.8, 25, 0) at 10°C, 24.6 (24.6 (24.4, 24.8) at 12°C | 25.8 mm |
Oncorhynchus tshawytscha | Larvae | Temperature during larval development | This study refines that recommendation by indicating that temperatures of 12°C are supraoptimal for rearing chinook eggs and alevins. Chinook produced at 12°C experienced reduced survival, hatch and emerge precociously, and are smaller than fish at lower temperatures | 12.0 °C |
Oncorhynchus tshawytscha | Larvae | Full yolk-sac resorption | 550-570 [Complete yolk absorption: 250 days postfertilization at 6°C, and size of a mean 42.2 (41.8, 42.6); 183 days at 8°C and a mean size of 40.8 (40.5, 41.2), 147 days at 10°C and a mean size of 39.5 (39.1, 39.9), 120 at 12°C ar a mean size of 38.9 (38.5, 39.4), less than 95, 71, 55, 44 for incubation respectively; i.e. 95 [6°C], 71 [8°C], 55 [10°C], 44 [12°] | 560.0 °C * day |
Oncorhynchus tshawytscha | Larvae | Onset of exogeneous feeding | 490 -520 [Exogeneous feeding is presumed to begin shortly after emergence is completed . However, even within the same species, some alevins emerge with considerable yolk while others emerge with virtually none: Number of days to 50% emergence: 192 postfertilization -95 days for incubation [6°C], 136-71 [8°C], 104-55 [10°C] and 85-44 [12°C], i.e. between 97 [6°C], 65 [8°C], 49 [10°C] and 41 [12°C]] | 505.0 °C * day |
Oncorhynchus tshawytscha | Spawning conditions | Spawning site preparation | Bury their eggsin gravel redds generally during the fall | Susbtrate chooser |
