| Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
| Gasterosteus aculeatus | Larvae | Initial larval size | Hatched larvae 6-7 mm SL (6.55 mm in a mean length) can attain a length of about 15 mm within one month of hatching | 6.5 mm |
| Gasterosteus aculeatus | Female | Length at sexual maturity | Although the smallest female with mature ova was 43 mm, the majority of females did not have mature ova until 45 mm SL | 43.0 cm |
| Gasterosteus aculeatus | Male | Length at sexual maturity | The breeding coloured male with a nest was 47 mm SL in the smallest body length | 47.0 cm |
| Gasterosteus aculeatus | Spawning conditions | Spawning season | They have spawned from April to mid June | ['April', 'June'] |
| Gasterosteus aculeatus | Spawning conditions | Spawning site preparation | To examine growth of the fish, 167 progeny hatched from three nests | No category |
| Gasterosteus aculeatus | Spawning conditions | Parity | After the breeding season, though there was a large mortality, a few of those remaining have experienced two summers and /or two winters. […] Usually, the three-spined stickleback had a life-span of year and a few months | No category |
