Comme Gasterosteus aculeatus, cette espèce est commune à l'Europe et à l'Amérique. On le reconnaît à sa taille réduite, au nombre plus grand d'aiguillons (8 à 10) et à l'absence de plaques latérales. Le mâle construit un nid qu'il suspend aux herbes et garde la ponte. Ses mœurs sont pratiquement les mêmes que celles de l'Épinoche à trois épines. 1, record 1, French, - %C3%A9pinoche%20%C3%A0%20neuf%20%C3%A9pines

In common terminology, the term "at bat" is sometimes used to mean "plate appearance" (for example, "he fouled off the ball to keep the at bat alive"). The intent is usually clear from the context, although the term "official at bat" is sometimes used to explicitly refer to an at bat as distinguished from a plate appearance. 5, record 2, English, - plate%20appearance
