The coastal areas of Yucatan ipersaline collect water that is used for the production of salt. Already at the time of the Maya salt was one of the main commodities of trade and there were duties. In these areas you can see a variety of fish that normally occupy marine areal or even fresh water. The species are nearly sixty. The single cichlid occupying these waters is the amazing adaptability and urophthalmus which bears very low oxygen levels. As usual, we find the needle fishes Strongylura noted, and the beautiful Chriodorus atherinoides Hyporhamphus unifasciatus with the caudal half yellow and half blue. That's why I chased several times to observe their behavior, but even if they gather in small groups is a very shy species. Among the beautiful ciprinodontiformi we Fundulus persimilis and grandissimus, Lucania parva, Cyprinodon artifrons, Floridichthys polyommus, Garmanella pulchra, Poecilia and Gambusia velifera Yucatan.
