| Morone americana | Egg | Incubation time | In about 2 days | 2.0 days |
| Morone americana | Larvae | Initial larval size | Depending upon temperature, yolk-sac larvae hatch at a length of about 2.6 mm | 2.6 mm |
| Morone americana | Larvae | Larvae behaviour | Both stripped bass and white perch yolksac larvae may have the ability to swim actively toward surface waters during the day | Demersal |
