Heritabilities for lateral plates in Gasterosteus are 0· 50±0· 043 at 21 C. and 0· 83±0· 033 at 16 C. for Lake Wapato stocks, and 0· 84±0· 039 at 21 C. for five other populations. The estimate for gill rakers from Lake Wapato is 0· 58±0· 056 at 21 C. In general, the two sexes of offspring do not differ in heritabilities; maternal effects apparently are not present. There is evidence that the asymmetry of plates has a large genetic component. The heritability is estimated at 0· 63±0· 16. Sex ratio varies widely among laboratory-reared families and there is a significant excess of females in the field. No effects of temperature or density on sex ratio were found.
