| Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
| Morone americana | Egg | Egg size after water-hardening | 0.80-0.86 [Swollen eggs] | 0.83 mm |
| Morone americana | Egg | Incubation time | 24 hours at 15.6-20°C to 144 hours at 11.1-15.6°C | 17.8 days |
| Morone americana | Egg | Temperature for incubation | Optimal temperature for hatch was 14.1°C and for larva length 17.6°C [Eggs incubated at 8°C did not hatch within 8 days, early embryo development appeared to be normal although slower than at 10 and 12°C. Eggs icubated at higher temperatures (20-26°c) developed rapidly ar first, but most died at the early gastrula to early-embryo stage] | 23.0 °C |
| Morone americana | Egg | Degree-days for incubation | [24 hours at 15.6-20°C to 144 hours at 11.1-15.6°C] | 17.8 °C * day |
| Morone americana | Larvae | Initial larval size | From mean of 2.13 to 2.86 [Depending on different salinities and temperatures] | 2.13 mm |
| Morone americana | Spawning conditions | Spawning temperature | Spawning temperatures of with perch range falls from 10 to 25.0°C, generally starts at 14.4°C, peaks at 15.6 to 19.4°C, and ends at 21.1 to 22.2°C | 10.0 °C |
