| Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
| Oncorhynchus keta | Egg | Incubation time | 117-122 in natural conditions | 119.5 days |
| Oncorhynchus keta | Egg | Temperature for incubation | 1-4 | 2.5 °C |
| Oncorhynchus keta | Larvae | Larvae behaviour | After hatching, the prolarvae stay in the ground for 1-1.5 month | Demersal |
| Oncorhynchus keta | Female | Relative fecundity | Different absolute fecundity means found in different rivers: 2658 ±22.3 [Weight: 3.50 ±0.036 kg, in Gizhiga], 2693 ±22.8 [Weight 3.86 ± 0.043 kg in Yama], 2450 ± 32.9 [Weight 3.42 ± 0.048 kg in Arman], 2300 ± 24.1 [Weight 3.31 ±0.065 in Taui], 2597 ± 19.4 [Weight 3.87 ± 0.032 in Khukhtiu], 2683 ±0.040 [Weight 3.65 ±0.040 in Ulya] | 2658.0 thousand eggs/kg |
| Oncorhynchus keta | Spawning conditions | Spawning migration period | Approaches of the spawners to the coastal spawning rivers were noted in the third ten-day period of May. The spawners entered the rivers in the first ten-day period of July. As a rule, the mass migration occurs in the first-second ten-day periods of August. The spawning migration eds mainly in the late August through the second-third ten -day periods of September | ['May', 'July', 'August', 'September'] |
| Oncorhynchus keta | Spawning conditions | Spawning season | Early O. keta spawn in July-August, and late in October-December | ['July', 'August', 'October', 'December'] |
| Oncorhynchus keta | Spawning conditions | Spawning temperature | 9.8-14.0°C for early spawners and 4-9°C for late spawner | 11.9 °C |
| Oncorhynchus keta | Spawning conditions | Spawning water type | Spawn in both small and large rivers, in the channel, and its tributaries of the first and second orders, and late O. keta spawn mainly in the middle and upper reaches of rivers | No category |
| Oncorhynchus keta | Spawning conditions | Spawning depth | 0.3-2.0 | 1.15 m |
| Oncorhynchus keta | Spawning conditions | Spawning substrate | Gravel bottom | Lithophils |
