MeSH definition : 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).;
