Mangrove killifish or Mangrove rivulus, Kryptolebias marmoratus. It lives in brackish, and marine waters (less frequently in fresh water) along the coasts of Florida, through the Antilles, and South America. The mangrove rivulus can spend up to 66 consecutive days out of water, which it typically spends inside fallen logs, breathing air through its skin. During this time, it alters its gills so it can retain water and nutrients, while nitrogen waste is excreted through the skin. The change is reversed once it re-enters the water. The mangrove rivulus is considered to have potential as a bioindicator species of estuary habitats. Brazil
