Abstract
The first report of the genus Jenynsia occurring in marine waters is presented here. The evolution of high salinity tolerance within Anablepidae is discussed and a hypothesis is proposed that this characteristic is a plesiomorphic trait in Jenynsia which was probably present in the common ancestor of the Anablepidae.Keywords: Atlantic Ocean; Jenynsia multidentata; evolution; salinity tolerance; seawater
