Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
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 |
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 | Egg | Egg Buoyancy | Occurs in the gravel of redds | Demersal |
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 |
