| Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
| Lepomis gibbosus | Egg | Oocyte diameter | The mean diameter of ripe eggs in ovaries of females in Upper Beverley Lake was 0.529 mm, signigficantly larger that 0.477 in Lower beverley Lake | 0.53 mm |
| Lepomis gibbosus | Female | Age at sexual maturity | Fish of both sexes began maturing in Lower Beverley Lake at age three and that more then 50% were mature at age six | 3.0 year |
| Lepomis gibbosus | Female | Length at sexual maturity | Females 138.03 ± 3.1826 for Lower Berveley Lake and 110.11 ± 2.6945 for Upper Beverley lake | 138.03 cm |
| Lepomis gibbosus | Female | Relative fecundity | Vary from 1844.5 eggs for females of 51.1 g [Age 5] to 10632.9 for females 125.8 g [Age 8] | 1844.5 thousand eggs/kg |
| Lepomis gibbosus | Female | Absolute fecundity | For all ages: 24510.7 for UBL and 21740.8 for LBL | 24510.7 thousand eggs |
| Lepomis gibbosus | Male | Age at sexual maturity | Ages of first maturity was 5.76 for males | 1.0 years |
| Lepomis gibbosus | Male | Length at sexual maturity | Females 147.17 ± 2.1847 for Lower Berveley Lake and 117.28 ± 1.7686 for Upper Beverley lake | 147.17 cm |
| Lepomis gibbosus | Male | Male sexual dimorphism | Males matured at a larger size than females in both lakes | Absent |
