Thymallus thymallus Spawning conditions Spawning migration period Mass migration of graylingto spawning grounds takes place only in calm windless weather when the water temperature reaches 3°C (daily fluctuations 2.3-3.9°C) and continues 1-2 days. In case of warming of the water masses along with constant intermixing due to wind, the spawning is delayed and takes place under more favorable conditions (absence of waves) and at a higher temperature. In such cases, the spawning is significantly extended, and the intervals between individual arrivals of spawners is 10-12 days No data
Thymallus thymallus Spawning conditions Spawning season The lake grayling spawns during spring, soon after melting of ice ['April', 'May', 'June']
Thymallus thymallus Spawning conditions Spawning temperature The maximum water temperature at which spawning takes place is 8-9°C, further increase in temperature leads to resorption of the sex products 8.5 °C
Thymallus thymallus Spawning conditions Spawning water type The coastal shoals, and offshore bars with gravel and gravel-boulder substrate serve as spawning grounds. As a rule, these parts have the most intensive circulation of water masses. Stagnant water
