Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
Salmo salar | Egg | Egg Buoyancy | Occurs in the gravel of redds | Demersal |
Salmo salar | Egg | Incubation time | The embryonic and larval development of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L;, which occurs in the gravel of redds between December and the beginning of April at the sourthen edge of the species range | No data |
Salmo salar | Larvae | Temperature during larval development | The mean daily temperatures of the Nivelle and spawning channel varied between 3.3°C shortly before hatching at the end of January and 12.7°C during emergence in mid-March | 3.3 °C |
Salmo salar | Spawning conditions | Spawning substrate | The substratum consisted of a 0.6 m thick layer of 10-80 mm graded cobble and gravel, an optimum particle range for Atlantic salmon redds | Lithophils |
