Wajdowicz, Z. (1974) Characteristic of the spawning population of the Vimba vimba nation carinata from the River Czarna Orawa. Acta Hydrobiol., pp. 221-228
| Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
| Vimba vimba | Egg | Oocyte diameter | 3 fractions of spawn with average grain of 1.4, 0.9 and 0.6 mm | 0.6 mm |
| Vimba vimba | Egg | Egg size after water-hardening | After fertilization the spawn of V. Vimba from the Czarna Orawa, similarly as that from the catchment area of the Baltic Sea, swells greatly in water, its volume increasing about twice | No data |
| Vimba vimba | Egg | Egg Buoyancy | The fertilized spawn adheres to the stones or becomes covered by the gravel of the river bottom | Demersal |
| Vimba vimba | Egg | Egg adhesiveness | The fertilized spawn adheres to the stones or becomes covered by the gravel of the river bottom | Adhesive |
| Vimba vimba | Egg | Incubation time | 5 at about 18-20°C [Also described at 3.5-4 days at 13-15°C] | 19.0 days |
| Vimba vimba | Egg | Temperature for incubation | About 16-18°C [When during the incubation time the water temperature fell below 11-12°C, the development of the embryos was distinctly inhibited and those born were not vital] | 17.0 °C |
| Vimba vimba | Egg | Degree-days for incubation | About 50-80 | 65.0 °C * day |
| Vimba vimba | Larvae | Larvae behaviour | Hathing proceeds initially in hiding between stones. Then, after a few days, the hatched fish either swim actively down the river or are swept down by the current to the reservoir | Demersal |
| Vimba vimba | Female | Age at sexual maturity | Marked inhibition of the growth rate of the body length took place after the fifth year of life, thus after reaching sexual maturity, this being usually more pronounced in females | 5.0 year |
| Vimba vimba | Female | Length at sexual maturity | The average of body length of spawners caught in 1969 and 1970 was about 36 cm [Both sex] | 36.0 cm |
| Vimba vimba | Female | Weight at sexual maturity | The average of body weight of spawners caught in 1969 and 1970 was about over 0.460 kg [Both sex] | 1969.0 kg |
| Vimba vimba | Female | Relative fecundity | 34.5-74.5 thousands grains | 54.5 thousand eggs/kg |
| Vimba vimba | Female | Absolute fecundity | With an average body weight of 600 g., thus in the age groups VII-IX, was determined on almost 40 thousand grains of various sizes. Also describes in other studies: 27.5-115.5 thousand grains | 71.5 thousand eggs |
| Vimba vimba | Female | Maximum GSI value | The average weight of the gonads calculated from 10 specimens of V. vimba obtained in 1972, of body weight 550-750 g g., constitued about 13 to over 24 per cent of the body weight of the fish, the mean being 17.3 per cent | 650.0 percent |
| Vimba vimba | Male | Male sexual dimorphism | Take on mating colours, the dorsal part and sides becoming navy-blue and the fins and some ventral parts assuming and intensive colour. As a rule, after each migration, especially one connected with spawning, the runs swims back to the reservoir. | Absent |
| Vimba vimba | Spawning conditions | Spawning migration distance | Semimigrating anadomic. For reproduction they migrate up the rivers. Migrating along the River Vistula, Vimba vimba reached even the River Raba about 800 km. Distant from the coast. Vimba vimba also develops local forms living only in fresh flowing waters, expecially in places where rivers have been artifically dammed. In these cases the existence of V. vimba in the dam reservoir is conditioned by the possibility of undertaking short spawning migrations to the non-damned part of the river as isthe case in natural conditions | 800.0 km |
| Vimba vimba | Spawning conditions | Spawning migration period | The first migration, usually the most numerous, normally takes place in the middle of May, and the last one in the 1st, or less frequently in the 2nd decade of June | ['May', 'June'] |
| Vimba vimba | Spawning conditions | Spawning temperature | Water temperature of 17-18°C for the first spawning | 17.5 °C |
| Vimba vimba | Spawning conditions | Spawning water type | Spawns in a swift current | Flowing or turbulent water |
| Vimba vimba | Spawning conditions | Spawning substrate | Generatively lithophilous. Use for spawning the stony-gravelled bottom parts of the River Czarna orawa above the reservoir | Lithophils |
| Vimba vimba | Spawning conditions | Spawning release | As a portion-spawning fish, V. vimba usually makes, with favourable weather conditions, 2-3 spawning migrations from this reservoir | No category |
