Gasterosteus is a genus of ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Gasterosteidae, the sticklebacks. These fishes are found in freshwater, brackish water and marine habitats in the Holarctic region.

Species

There are currently 6 recognized species in this genus:

Additionally there are a number of fossil species including:

Gasterosteus doryssus, a fossil freshwater species from Nevada

Fossils of essentially modern three-spined sticklebacks, assigned to G. aculeatus, are known from the mid-late Miocene of California, USA.[5]
