Hello,
we have threespine: Gasterosteus aculeatus, ninespine: Pungitius
pungitius , and fourspine: Apeltes quadracus. The brook stickleback:
Culaea incontans, and blackspotted: Gasterosteus wheatlandi are only
found inland in NA. The fifteenspine Spinachia spinachia is
restricted to coastal Western Europe. I'm really only familiar with
G. aculeatus. The rest of the list comes from R.J. Wootton's A
Functional Biology of Sticklebacks, 1984. Sticklebacks are famous for
being so adaptable to varying conditions. I'm quite fond of our
threespines. They are great dads.
I concur with Chuck that I, too, would be very interested in
Denmark's native fish and hearing about any stickleback stories you
might have.
Welcome
Bonnie
