| Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
| Cobitis taenia | Spawning conditions | Spawning water type | No eggs were found in the belt of rough detritus, which indicates a preference of vegetation in water of medium depth rather than detritus in shallow water by the spawning fish | Stagnant water |
| Cobitis taenia | Spawning conditions | Spawning substrate | The spined loach showed a strong preference for dense vegetation as spawning susbtrate, indicating this factor has great importance for its reproductive biology | Phytophils |
