In talking about larval development, we refer to the period from hatching of the embryo from egg shell to full resorption of the vitelline sac. As the age of the smelt is counted in relative duration untis, the larval period falls in the age interval between 200 and 340 ts. The duration of the larval development may be counted easily for each temperature regime using the following formula: log ts (t) = 3.22665 -0.13876t + 0.00297t² where t is the temperature. For example, value ts is equal to 116 min at 10.8°C, so the duration of the total larval development at the given regime is 116 (min) x 140 (ts) = 16240 min or 11 days and 7 hours |

Adults of both species spawn for 6–8 weeks during late spring through early summer, exhibiting similar reproductive strategies as males build nests in the littoral zone (0.2- to 0.8-m depth) and then provide nest defence to incubating eggs (2–4 days) and embryos (i.e., yolk-sac larvae, 2-6 days) |

The incubation times for white crappies were shorter than those for smallmouth bass (1.9 versus 6.0 d for eggs and 4.9 versus 6.0 d for embryos at 18°C). |

Pomoxis annularis |
Water temperatures at spawning ranged from 14 to 23 C. The average time between start of hatching and departure of broods from the nests was 95 hr (range, 51 to 162 hr). Larvae absorbed the yolk sac when 4.5 to 4.6 mm long |
