| Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
| Hypophthalmichthys molitrix | Egg | Incubation time | Hatch from the envelopped at pahse 19 a day after fertilization (water temperature 26-28°C) | 27.0 days |
| Hypophthalmichthys molitrix | Egg | Temperature for incubation | The eggs were incubated in Weiss's apparatus under 27-28°C | 27.5 °C |
| Hypophthalmichthys molitrix | Larvae | Initial larval size | 5.2 mm at hatching | 5.2 mm |
| Hypophthalmichthys molitrix | Larvae | Full yolk-sac resorption | The larvae 2.5 days after hatching are at phase 23; their length is 7.4 mm. They begin to actively catch food oustide,but continue mostly to feed on yolk, which is present as relatively substantial residue | 2.5 °C * day |
