Data from: Geographic variation in age structure and longevity in the nine-spined stickleback (Pungitius pungitius)
Variation in age and size of mature nine-spined sticklebacks (Pungitius pungitius) within and among 16 Fennoscandian populations were assessed using skeletochronology. The average age of individuals in a given population varied from 1.7 to 4.7 years. Fish from pond populations were on average older...
