Abstract
Male Novumbra hubbsi are highly aggressive during reproduction when they hold very large territories over long periods of time. A description of aggressive displays, territoriality, and courtship is given from a sample of 29 males in the laboratory and 26 in the field, and the striking convergence in black colors of breeding male sticklebacks and Novumbra where they coexist is considered.Keywords
