| Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
| Gasterosteus aculeatus | Female | Length at sexual maturity | Length of female producing eggs: mean of 47.9, range 41.0-74.0 mm | 57.5 cm |
| Gasterosteus aculeatus | Female | Weight at sexual maturity | Weight of females producing eggs after spawning 1.102, range 0.582-3.665 mm | 2.12 kg |
| Gasterosteus aculeatus | Female | Relative fecundity | A 3 g fish would produce about 270 eggs | 3.0 thousand eggs/kg |
| Gasterosteus aculeatus | Female | Absolute fecundity | The expected fecundity of a stickleback of a standard length of 50 mm was calculated as 163.1 eggs for trachurus females, 154.4 eggs for hybrid females and 132.7 eggs for leiurus females [in the course of a breeding season a large female can produce two to three times its own weight of eggs, that is 2-4 g of eggs] | 3.0 thousand eggs |
| Gasterosteus aculeatus | Spawning conditions | Spawning site preparation | Spawn naturally in the nest of a male | No category |
| Gasterosteus aculeatus | Spawning conditions | Spawning release | Spawn several in breeding season | Multiple |
