  1. family gasterosteidae

    The family Gasterosteidae, commonly known as sticklebacks, is a group of small fish usually characterized by the presence of strong, erectile spines along their dorsal fins. These fish are typically found in coastal or brackish waters, although some species inhabit fresh water. Members of the Gasterosteidae family are widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere. The spines, in combination with their often armored body plates, serve as their primary defensive measure against predators. Sticklebacks play significant roles in their respective ecosystems, serving as predators of small organisms and prey for larger aquatic species. They are also known for having diverse mating behaviors and complex parenting strategies.
