Abstract

The development of lateral plate number in completely plated three‐spined stickleback populations during the period of growth of the body after hatching was studied in two streams in Central Poland. The streams belong to the Oder River drainage basin (51°38′N; 19°26′E) and the Vistula River drainage basin (51°35′N; 19°37′E), respectively. After reaching a total length of 27 mm the development of lateral plate number is completed in both populations. This value is lower than thc corresponding values rcported in the literature.
