WHAT DOES STUDFISH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Fundulus

Fundulus is a genus of ray-finned fishes in the superfamily Funduloidea, family Fundulidae. It belongs to the order of toothcarps, and therein the large suborder Cyprinodontoidei. Most of its closest living relatives are egg-laying, with the notable exception of the splitfin livebearers. They are usually smallish; most species reaching a length of at most 4 in when fully grown. However, a few larger species exist, with the giant killifish and the northern studfish growing to twice the genus' average size. Many of the 40-odd species are commonly known by the highly ambiguous name "killifish", or the somewhat less ambiguous "topminnow". "Studfish" is a quite unequivocal vernacular name applied to some other Fundulus species; it is not usually used to refer to the genus as a whole, however.
