Ökologie
seewasser benthopelagisch; standorttreu. Tropical; 31°N - 24°N, 98°W - 80°W
Western Atlantic: southeastern Florida (including Keys) in USA. This species requires a new scientific name, since Fundulus similis is correctly a synonym of Fundulus majalis, having been based on the Gulf population of that species.
