May also have a tolerance of salinity like the other species of Pungitius. In the Garonne drainage, it has a very restrictive habitat with low elevation and short distance from the source. Monogamy observed, also nest building, but monogamy needs to be verified because ordinarily, the ninespined-sticklebacks are polygamous. It can hybridize with the two other species where they are in sympatry: with P. pungitius in the Vienne basin and P. laevis in the coastal Atlantic Basins (Ref. 125067). Denys, G.P.J., H. Persat, A.

Colouration: adult specimens with a yellowish coloration and with very thin black dots, whereas the young ones are blueish green; however, color pattern is very variable between individuals from a same population, or having the same age or sex (Ref. 125067).
