Fundulus seminolis Girard, 1859 | |
The Seminole killifish ranges throughout much of peninsular Florida from the St. Johns and New river drainages south to the Everglades.[2]
The Seminole killifish occurs in the open areas of lakes and quiet pools in streams. The juveniles are usually encountered in schools in the vicinity vegetation.[3]
Fundulus seminolis was described by Charles Frédéric Girard in 1859 with the type locality given as Palatka in eastern Florida.[4] The specific name probably alludes to the Seminole people who are indigenous to southern Florida where this species is endemic.[5]
