| Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
| Cobitis taenia | Spawning conditions | Mating system | All males in the tank followed the female, the female penetrated into dense vegetation, spotted and one male embraced the female. The female started swimming and the circle began again, often with another male embracing the female | No category |
| Cobitis paludica | Spawning conditions | Mating system | All males in the tank followed the female, the female penetrated into dense vegetation, spotted and one male embraced the female. The female started swimming and the circle began again, often with another male embracing the female | No category |
| Cobitis taenia | Spawning conditions | Spawning substrate | Dense vegetation | Phytophils |
| Cobitis paludica | Spawning conditions | Spawning substrate | Dense vegetation | Phytophils |
| Cobitis taenia | Female | Female sexual dimorphism | No | Absent |
| Cobitis paludica | Female | Female sexual dimorphism | A change of coloration is observed only during spawning activity: the female became very intensely pigmented [This spawning coloration. This spawning coloration disappeared within a few hours after spawning activity | Absent |
| Cobitis taenia | Male | Male sexual dimorphism | No | Absent |
| Cobitis paludica | Male | Male sexual dimorphism | A change of coloration is observed only during spawning activity: the male became pale [This spawning coloration. This spawning coloration disappeared within a few hours after spawning activity | Absent |
| Cobitis taenia | Egg | Egg size after water-hardening | Diameter of chorion mean of 2.49 ± 0.24, range 1.49-3.14 | 2.49 mm |
| Cobitis paludica | Egg | Egg size after water-hardening | Diameter of the chorion, mean 1.71 ± 0.08, range 1.53-1.86 | 1.71 mm |
| Cobitis taenia | Larvae | Temperature during larval development | 21°C [Rearing condition] | 21.0 °C |
| Cobitis taenia | Larvae | Reaction to light | After eye pigmentation, larvae became negatively phototactic. With the beginning of exogeneous feeding, phototaxis changed into a positive reaction. | Photophobic |
| Phoxinus phoxinus | Larvae | Reaction to light | The free-embryos of the gravel spawning Phoxinus are negatively phototactic in the beginning and hide in the interstitial. After the onset of exogeneous feeding, the young fish become positively phototactic and emerge from the substrate | Photophobic |
| Oncorhynchus gorbuscha | Larvae | Reaction to light | The free-embryos of the gravel spawning Oncorhynchus are negatively phototactic in the beginning and hide in the interstitial. After the onset of exogeneous feeding, the young fish become positively phototactic and emerge from the substrate | Photophobic |
| Oncorhynchus keta | Larvae | Reaction to light | The free-embryos of the gravel spawning Oncorhynchus are negatively phototactic in the beginning and hide in the interstitial. After the onset of exogeneous feeding, the young fish become positively phototactic and emerge from the substrate | Photophobic |
| Oncorhynchus kisutch | Larvae | Reaction to light | The free-embryos of the gravel spawning Oncorhynchus are negatively phototactic in the beginning and hide in the interstitial. After the onset of exogeneous feeding, the young fish become positively phototactic and emerge from the substrate | Photophobic |
| Oncorhynchus mykiss | Larvae | Reaction to light | The free-embryos of the gravel spawning Oncorhynchus are negatively phototactic in the beginning and hide in the interstitial. After the onset of exogeneous feeding, the young fish become positively phototactic and emerge from the substrate | Photophobic |
| Oncorhynchus nerka | Larvae | Reaction to light | The free-embryos of the gravel spawning Oncorhynchus are negatively phototactic in the beginning and hide in the interstitial. After the onset of exogeneous feeding, the young fish become positively phototactic and emerge from the substrate | Photophobic |
| Oncorhynchus tshawytscha | Larvae | Reaction to light | The free-embryos of the gravel spawning Oncorhynchus are negatively phototactic in the beginning and hide in the interstitial. After the onset of exogeneous feeding, the young fish become positively phototactic and emerge from the substrate | Photophobic |
| Cobitis taenia | Larvae | Onset of exogeneous feeding | 120 [6 days at 21°C] | 120.0 °C * day |
| Cobitis taenia | Larvae | Larvae behaviour | After the onset of negative phototaxis, the free-embryos will accumulate at the darkest point in the surrounding, i.e. the bottom beneath the centre part of the vegetation | Demersal |
