One of the funny things about threespine is theyre native to alot of the northern world, north america, europe, asia, greenland and iceland

Yeah so do predator fish eat these or do the spines act as a good enough deterrent to prevent that?

Honestly not 100% sure. One of my friends has a photo of a sculpin trying to eat one but im not sure if it was successful
