Isermann, D.A. and Willis, D.W. (2008) Emergence of larval yellow perch, Perca flavescens, in South Dakota lakes: potential implications for recruitment. Fisheries Management and Ecology [Fish. Manage. Ecol.], pp. 259-271
| Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
| Perca flavescens | Larvae | Initial larval size | The TL of larval yellow perch ranged from 4 to 11 mm on the initial dates of capture | 11.0 mm |
| Perca flavescens | Larvae | Temperature during larval development | Peak larval yellow perch densities generally occurred during late May or early June when surface temperatures were 12-19°C | 15.5 °C |
| Perca flavescens | Spawning conditions | Spawning season | Yellow perch typically spawn in South Dakota lakes and wetlands from mid-April to mid-May […] On Lake Madison during 2000 and 2001, egg deposition on submerged conifer bundles occurred over 3-15 days periods from 21 April to 5 May at water temperatures between 7 and 17°C, and no new egg deposition was observed after the first week of May | ['April', 'May'] |
| Perca flavescens | Spawning conditions | Spawning temperature | At water temperatures less than 17°C | 17.0 °C |
