| Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
| Oncorhynchus gorbuscha | Spawning conditions | Spawning site preparation | Upon establishing a territory, the female constructs, spawns in, and covers a series of nests (three to eight), and then defends these from other females until her death days to weeks later | No category |
| Oncorhynchus gorbuscha | Spawning conditions | Parental care | The female defends the nests from other females until her death days to weeks later. Male pacific salmon take no part in parental care. Rather they remain sexually active throughout their breeding life span and move amongst breeding females | Male parental care |
| Oncorhynchus keta | Spawning conditions | Spawning site preparation | Upon establishing a territory, the female constructs, spawns in, and covers a series of nests (three to eight), and then defends these from other females until her death days to weeks later | No category |
| Oncorhynchus keta | Spawning conditions | Parental care | The female defends the nests from other females until her death days to weeks later. Male pacific salmon take no part in parental care.

| Oncorhynchus nerka | Spawning conditions | Spawning season | Throughout the period of island beach spawning, 13-29 August 1997 | ['August'] |
| Oncorhynchus nerka | Spawning conditions | Spawning period duration | The island beach populations display possibly the most contracted period in the species, with a total spawning of just 2 weeks | 2.0 weeks |
| Oncorhynchus nerka | Spawning conditions | Spawning water type | Spawn in the tributaries and around islands and mainland beaches of Iliamna Lake, Alaska. | Stagnant water |
| Oncorhynchus nerka | Spawning conditions | Spawning site preparation | Upon establishing a territory, the female constructs, spawns in, and covers a series of nests (three to eight), and then defends these from other females until her death days to weeks later | No category |
| Oncorhynchus nerka | Spawning conditions | Parity | Semelparous | Semelparous |
| Oncorhynchus nerka | Spawning conditions | Parental care | The female defends the nests from other females until her death days to weeks later. Male pacific salmon take no part in parental care. Rather they remain sexually active throughout their breeding life span and move amongst breeding females | Male parental care |
| Oncorhynchus tshawytscha | Spawning conditions | Spawning site preparation | Upon establishing a territory, the female constructs, spawns in, and covers a series of nests (three to eight), and then defends these from other females until her death days to weeks later | No category |
| Oncorhynchus tshawytscha | Spawning conditions | Parental care | The female defends the nests from other females until her death days to weeks later.
