| Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
| Salmo salar | Spawning conditions | Homing | Return to their natal streams to spawn | Present |
| Salmo salar | Spawning conditions | Spawning water type | Redds are commonly located in pool-riffle transition zones. Such sites have comparitively high water velocities, down or upwelling flows and corase gravels | Flowing or turbulent water |
| Salmo salar | Spawning conditions | Spawning substrate | Zones of cleaned gravel particles | Lithophils |
| Salmo salar | Spawning conditions | Spawning site preparation | Each female constructed 7 to 11 nests over a period of 3 to 5 days [In other studies, atlantic salmon build larger numbers of redds and nests, with some females constructing from 8 to 17 seperate nests within 1 to 9 redds] | Susbtrate chooser |
