The Gasterosteidae comprises five genera and about seven species (Nelson 1994). The family is widely distributed in temperate areas of the Northern Hemisphere (Berra 1981; Nelson 1994). Four species are native to North America north of Mexico (Page and Burr 1991). Sticklebacks are small fish, less than about 15 cm in length, characterized by a scaleless body with 3-16 isolated dorsal spines along the back.

Six species of sticklebacks are recognized in North America (Robins 1980). Two of them are found in California: tube-snout, Aulorhynchus flavidus, a coastal marine species associated with giant kelp beds (this species was formerly in the family of Aulorhynchidae) and the threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus, a widely distributed small fish. Both freshwater and anadromous forms are found in the study area.

Die Arten der Familie betreiben Brutpflege: das Mдnnchen baut das Nest, umwirbt das Weibchen mit einer Balzzeremonie und betreut schlieЯlich das Gelege.
