• Male Stickleback Defends its Nest shows an anadromous Three-spine Stickleback defending its nest from a Staghorn Sculpin.
  • This video was taken in an intertidal slough in Juneau, Alaska on July 7, 2018. 
  • The stickleback was fanning the nest to provide circulation to the incubating eggs when this sculpin arrived. 
  • It is interesting to see such a tiny fish attack the very large sculpin and eventually drive it away.
  • Of interest is the sculpin tried to eat the stickleback at least two times but he escaped.
