| Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
| Hypophthalmichthys molitrix | Larvae | Reaction to light | Clearly displayed a positive phototaxis | Photopositive |
| Hypophthalmichthys molitrix | Larvae | Temperature during larval development | 26-32, but 32°C is the optimum for growth and survival | 29.0 °C |
