| Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
| Dicentrarchus labrax | Egg | Temperature for incubation | Hatching occurs in fullsea water (34°/oo) at a temperature of 15°C | 34.0 °C |
| Dicentrarchus labrax | Larvae | Initial larval size | 3.5 mm at hatching | 3.5 mm |
| Dicentrarchus labrax | Larvae | Larvae behaviour | Eggs and pre-larvae drift passively towards coastal zones | Demersal |
| Dicentrarchus labrax | Larvae | Full yolk-sac resorption | Feeding depends upon the yolk vesicle which persists beyond the mouth opening (day 5 post-hatching) until the end of endotrophy (day 7) at 15°C | 5.0 °C * day |
| Dicentrarchus labrax | Larvae | Onset of exogeneous feeding | Feeding depends upon the yolk vesicle which persists beyong the mouth opening (day 5 post-hatching) until the end of endotrophy (day 7) at 15°C | 5.0 °C * day |
