Sticklebacks, sea horses and scorpionfish

Re-post 05.2013



We caught a fifteen-spined stickleback today. It looks very similar to pipefish we often catch during the samplings. Although sitcklebacks, seahorses and pipefishes were classified at first as close relatives, it appears sticklebacks are closer to scorpionfish. Spiny stuffs... :)
