Associated characteristics


Species Development state Trait Primary Data Secondary Data
Oncorhynchus keta Egg Incubation time 180 [3-4°C in natural conditions], 240 [1-8°C in natural conditions] 3.5 days
Oncorhynchus keta Egg Incubation time For subsurface waters, incubated from September to Mid-April, i.e. 225 days at 0-9°c, mostly <1°C, and for ground waters incubated from September to Mid February, i.e. 165 at 3-4°C. 4.5 days
Oncorhynchus keta Egg Temperature for incubation Groundwater has a temperature of 4-5°C and varies little over the course of the year, whereas the subsurface river water is warmer in the summer (9-10°C) and colder in the winter (0.2-0.3C) than the groundwater 4.5 °C
Oncorhynchus keta Larvae Temperature during larval development Emergence vary between Mid-february to Mid-April for groudnwaters incubation, 60 days at 3-4°C, and for subsurface waters from 30-40 days at 2-6°C 3.5 °C
Oncorhynchus keta Larvae Full yolk-sac resorption Emergence vary between Mid-february to Mid-April for groundwaters incubation, 60 days at 3-4°C, and for subsurface waters from 30-40 days at 2-6°C 3.5 °C * day
Oncorhynchus keta Spawning conditions Spawning season There are two main seasonal fomrs of chum salmo, with the chief differences between then being reprodcutive-the summer form spawns in sites with subsurface river flow with seasonal (and dialy) temperature variation and the atum form selects spawning sites influneced by groundwater under relatively constant temperatures ['July', 'August', 'September']
Oncorhynchus keta Spawning conditions Spawning period duration Spawning at these sites extended from Late July to October No data
Oncorhynchus keta Spawning conditions Spawning temperature 8-10°C 9.0 °C
Oncorhynchus keta Spawning conditions Spawning water type Maximum spawning density is seen at sites with the most intensive input of groundwater No category
Oncorhynchus keta Spawning conditions Spawning depth Eggs are deposited mainly at 20-30 cm deep 25.0 m
