| Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
| Micropterus dolomieui | Spawning conditions | Spawning season | Males spawned between 12 April and 14 May | ['April', 'May'] |
| Micropterus dolomieui | Spawning conditions | Spawning water type | Reduced water velocity | Flowing or turbulent water |
| Micropterus dolomieui | Spawning conditions | Spawning depth | At depths of 0.4 to 2.0 m | 2.0 m |
| Micropterus dolomieui | Spawning conditions | Spawning site preparation | Although most males spawned once in a single nest, one male spawned in two nests (about 0.5 m apart) simultaneously and four males renested and spawned while their initial brood was at the juvenile interval | Susbtrate chooser |
