Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
Dicentrarchus labrax | Female | Female sexual dimorphism | Normally, males are smaller than females at the time of firts maturity, although there is no clear sexual dimorphism | Absent |
Dicentrarchus labrax | Male | Maximum GSI value | During the second reprodcutive period (third annual cycle), the control group showed higher GSI values (January Ferbaury 2.5-3.0%) than at the first reproductive period | 2.75 percent |
Dicentrarchus labrax | Spawning conditions | Spawning season | On the south-east coast of Spain, under natural conditions, spawning occurs during winter months | ['January', 'February', 'March'] |
Dicentrarchus labrax | Spawning conditions | Spawning temperature | On the south-east coast of Spain, under natural conditions, spawning occurs during winter months, under low temperatures (12-14°C) and short and/or increasing daylengths | 13.0 °C |
