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
