| Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
| Leuciscus leuciscus | Egg | Egg size after water-hardening | Eggs found on the field range from 1.33 to 1.51 mm | 1.51 mm |
| Leuciscus leuciscus | Egg | Egg Buoyancy | Negatively bouyant | No category |
| Leuciscus leuciscus | Egg | Egg adhesiveness | Adhesive | Adhesive |
| Leuciscus leuciscus | Egg | Incubation time | Take 25-30 days to hatch in a typical river temperatures | 27.5 days |
| Leuciscus leuciscus | Egg | Temperature for incubation | Typical spring water temperature is 10°C | 10.0 °C |
| Leuciscus leuciscus | Egg | Degree-days for incubation | 250-300 [25-30 days at 10°C] | 275.0 °C * day |
| Leuciscus leuciscus | Larvae | Larvae behaviour | The water current may play an important role at the time of hatching as newly-hatched fry are feeble swimmers and will be swept dowstream off the site until either chance or perhaps a response to some environmental gradient such as temperature, depth or current itself enables them to aggregate in slack marginal areas | Demersal |
| Leuciscus leuciscus | Spawning conditions | Spawning season | A small number of eggs were found on 21 March 80, but the following week a large shoal of ripe dace collected in a pool above the spawning site and spawned on 28 March 80 | ['March'] |
| Leuciscus leuciscus | Spawning conditions | Spawning water type | Fast-flowing waters | Flowing or turbulent water |
| Leuciscus leuciscus | Spawning conditions | Spawning substrate | Gravel spawning sites | Lithophils |
