Data from: Variation in age and size in Fennoscandian three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
Average age and maximum life span of breeding adult three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) were determined in eight Fennoscandian localities with the aid of skeletochronology. The average age varied from 1.8 to 3.6 years, and maximum life span from three to six years depending on the loc...
