Scope note: Especie de killi del género Fundulus que es nativa de las marismas de agua salada y de los estuarios del Atlántico. Se lo conoce comúnmente como killi del Atlántico. Fundulus heteroclitus es un organismo modelo para la toxicogenómica y los campos relacionados debido a su alta resistencia a las toxinas ambientales, los intervalos cortos entre desoves (10 días), la gran cantidad de huevos (hasta 300 en cada desove) y una vida relativamente larga (4 años).

Scope note: A killifish species in topminnows genus Fundulus which is native to Atlantic saltwater marshes and tidal creeks. It is commonly known as mummichog or Atlantic killifish. Fundulus heteroclitus is a model organism for toxicogenomics and related fields because of its high resistance to environmental toxins; short intervals between spawning (10 days); large number of eggs (up to 300 each spawning) and relatively long lifespan (4 years).
