Culpepper III, C.M., 2015. Development of white crappie Pomoxis annularis reproduction methods in closed aquaculture systems. Mississippi State University.
| Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
| Pomoxis annularis | Egg | Incubation time | In an indoor hatchery setting at 18-21° C, hatching has been observed approximately 72hrs post-spawning. | 19.5 days |
| Pomoxis annularis | Egg | Temperature for incubation | Spawning begins in March in the southern U.S. when water temperature reaches 13-14° C, with peak spawning occurring at 16-20° C. | 13.5 °C |
| Pomoxis annularis | Larvae | Temperature during larval development | the critical thermal maxima of white crappie to be 32.5° C, while the critical thermal maxima of black crappie was 35° C. Optimum performance and growth occurs at 23.5° C for white crappie. | 32.5 °C |
| Pomoxis annularis | Larvae | Sibling intracohort cannibalism | However, most hatchery practices do not attempt to grow-out crappie beyond the post-larval stage due to factors associated with cannibalism. | Cannibalism |
