Observations of male three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus L.) parental care were made in a salt-marsh tide pool at 3-h intervals over 24-h cycles, to determine if male behavior varied in association with diel changes in water temperature and dissolved oxygen concentration. An analysis of egg metabolism in situ revealed positive correlations between rate of egg oxygen consumption and egg age, water temperature, and dissolved oxygen levels, while there was a slight but significant negative correlative with the number of eggs per nest. We found no significant difference when we compared the proportion of time males spent fanning their nests during the day with night levels. However, nocturnal fanning bouts were significantly longer and less numerous than diurnal ones. In contrast to the rest of the 24-h cycle, the males remained inactive between fanning bouts at night, except when exposed to hypoxic conditions
