Oncorhynchus tshawytscha Egg Temperature for incubation Mean water temperature during the incubation period were 6, 8, 10 and 12 6.0 °C
Oncorhynchus tshawytscha Egg Degree-days for incubation Incubation time to 50% hatching varied inversely with temperature from 95d (556 tu) at 6°C, to 71 d (556 tu) at 8°C, to 55 days (534 tu) at 10°C and 44 days (520 tu) at 12°C 50.0 °C * day
Oncorhynchus tshawytscha Larvae Temperature during larval development Water temperature during the feeding studies averaged 6 to 12 °C 12.0 °C
Oncorhynchus tshawytscha Larvae Full yolk-sac resorption 870-920 [Thermal units from fertilization at complete yolk absorption averaged 1456 ± 22 among the test temperatures: 250 days (6°C), 180 (8°C), 150 (10°C) and 120 (12°C), minus 95, 71, 55, 44 days for incubation respectively, thus vary between 870-920] 1456.0 °C * day
Oncorhynchus tshawytscha Larvae Onset of exogeneous feeding 437 [At 12°C], 464 [10°C], 482 [8°C] and 523 [6°C] posu hatching [It would be of little benefit to initiate food presentation before 905 tu, the point at which 50% of alevins were first able to ingest food at all four tested temperature, between 6-12°C, less than about ca.520-556 for incubation; This optimum feeding zone existed at temperatures below 12°C, between 905 thermal units (tu) postfertilization and a point (F, tu) which varied with temperature (T, °C) as F= 1201.1-20.3 T 9.0 °C * day
