| Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
| Perca flavescens | Egg | Incubation time | Hatching occurred within 12-14 days of fertilization | 13.0 days |
| Perca flavescens | Larvae | Initial larval size | Each model simulation model began with 1000 larvae, and initial size was randomly assigned to each larva from a normal distribution (mean = 5.7 mm, SD = 0.3 mm). | 5.7 mm |
| Perca flavescens | Larvae | Temperature during larval development | Larvae were maintained in the lab in a 2.4 m diameter tank at 15-18°C under flow-through conditions | 16.5 °C |
| Perca flavescens | Larvae | Onset of exogeneous feeding | Larvae were initially fed a tank culture of rotifers and small zooplankton four to six times per day. Starting five days posthatch (dph), larvae were fed Artemia nauplii four times per day (at 15-18°C). | 16.5 °C * day |
