MORPHOLOGICAL VARIATION OF THREESPINE STICKLEBACK (GASTEROSTEUS ACULEATUS) ON DIFFERENT STAGES OF SPAWNING PERIOD
This study uses morphometric analysis for better understanding processes occurring during the spawning period in the population of threespine stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus . Totally, 270 specimens were sampled in 2016 in the Keret Archipelago (White Sea) from three spawning grounds of different...

Totally, 270 specimens were sampled in 2016 in the Keret Archipelago (White Sea) from three spawning grounds of different quality in the beginning (28–30 May), middle (15–17 June) and end (7–9 July) of spawning period. Nine characters describing fish body shape were measured on each specimen using scanned image and caliper: 1) Total Length, 2) Standard Length, 3) Head Length, 4) Maxilla Length, 5) Distance Between Head and Pectoral Fin, 6) Body Depth, 7) Body Thickness, 8) Head Thickness, 9) Caudal Length.

Separation of the groups was similar in both sexes. All groups of characters showed notable changes during the spawning period.

In the middle of spawning season, the highest heterogeneity was observed. Males characterized by larger upper part of the body and larger size, were numerous in high quality spawning grounds (characterized by high density of sea grass and stickleback). This probably results from a competition between territorial males for higher quality spawning grounds. In the end of spawning period no spatial heterogeneity was observed, probably, because most of stickleback left the spawning grounds and no competition for higher quality spawning grounds took place.
