Sticklebаck fish аre fоund in bоth mаrine and freshwater habitats. The marine fish have nо scales but have hardened, armorlike plates along their sides. The plates are thought to protect sticklebacks from certain predators. In the late 1980s, sticklebacks from a marine population colonized Loberg Lake, a freshwater lake in Alaska. Starting in 1990, researchers sampled fish from the lake every four years and recorded the armor-plate phenotypes of the male sticklebacks in each sample. The armor-plate phenotypes were categorized as either complete (plates extending from head to tail), partial (plates extending from head to abdomen), or low (a few plates near the head only). The results are shown in the table below.
