A stickleback is any FISH of the family
Gasterosteidae, found in marine and fresh
waters of the northern hemisphere. It has a
long body that can grow to 18cm (7inches).
The spines along a stickleback's back take
the place of the first dorsal fin, and can be
raised to make the fish difficult to eat for
predators.
