Malé vejcorodé ryby čeledi Cyprinodontidae, ale také někteří zástupci čeledí Aplocheilidae, Fundulidae, Profundulidae a Rivulidae. Používají se pro regulaci výskytu komárů. Jsou modelovými organismy obratlovců např. v environmentální toxikologii a neurobiologii, kvůli jejich krátké životnosti, snadné péči a velkému počtu produkovaných jiker.

Small oviparous fishes mostly in the family Cyprinodontidae but also some members of families Aplocheilidae, Fundulidae, Profundulidae, and Rivulidae. Some killifishes are used in mosquito control. Killifishes are vertebrate model organisms in various fields, e.g., environmental toxicology and neurobiology, because of their short lifespans, ease of maintenance and large number of eggs produced.
