Fundulus heteroclitus
Juvenile picture by
Terceira, A.C.
Teleostei (teleosts) >
Cyprinodontiformes
(Rivulines, killifishes and live bearers) >
Fundulidae
(Topminnows and killifishes)
Etymology:
Fundulus:
Latin, fundus = bottom; a peculiar name for a topminnow, coined for a bottom species of Atlantic coast being "the abode of the fundulus mudfish" (Ref.
45335
)
.
More on author:
Linnaeus
.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; freshwater; brackish; benthopelagic; non-migratory. Temperate; 10°C - 24°C (Ref.
12468
); 52°N - 28°N, 82°W - 55°W
Western Atlantic: Gulf of St. Lawrence to northeast Florida, USA. Two subspecies were previously recognized:
Fundulus heteroclitus heteroclitus
and
Fundulus heteroclitus macrolepidotus
(Ref.
86798
). Introduced to southern Portugal and southern Spain (Ref.
59043
).

?
, range 4 - ? cm
Max length : 15.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref.
27139
); common length : 8.9 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref.
12193
); max. reported age: 4 years (Ref.
59043
)
Distinguished from nearly identical species
Fundulus grandis
by having the following characters: more convex upper profile; dark bars alternating with silvery interspaces on side; small ocellus at rear of dorsal fin of male; and each mandible with 4 pores (Ref.
86798
).
Facultative air-breathing (Ref.
126274
); Occurs in saltwater marshes, tidal creeks and nearby fresh water (Ref.
86798
). A resident intertidal species with homing behavior (Ref.
32612
). Adults are mainly found in saltwater marshes and in tidal creeks. They may leave tide pools if aquatic conditions become inhospitable (Ref.
31184
). They also enter fresh water to a limited extent (Ref.
7251
). Not a seasonal killifish. They breathe air when out of water (Ref.
31184
). Difficult to maintain in aquariums (Ref.
27139
). Introduction has caused the decline of native species and near extinction of
Aphanius baeticus
in southwestern Spain (Ref.
59043
).
Deposits eggs in the shells of
Modiolus demissus
(Ref.
26281
).
