Line 24: Salt marsh mosquito panne Minimal vegetation often found on the upper half of the high salt marsh. It is typically deeper than forb and smooth cord-grass pannes. Usually flooded by the higher of the two [[spring tide]]s, retains water for 2-3 weeks later until drying out. The female salt marsh mosquitoe lays eggs on the exposed surface. The eggs lay dormant until the next time the panne floods. [[File:Fundulus heteroclitus.jpg\|thumb\|right\|200px\|Mummichogs, [[~~Mummichogs~~Mummichog\|(''Fundulus heteroclitus'')]], found in deepwater pools]] Widgeon grass (''[[Ruppia maritima]]'') - marsh minnow deepwater pool Pools on the high salt marsh that are semi-permanently and permanently flooded. They are able to sustain populations of Sheephead minnow [[Sheepshead minnow\|(''Cyprinodon variegatus variegatus'')]], Mummichogs, [[~~Mummichogs~~Mummichog\|(''Fundulus heteroclitus'')]], and other species of small fish which may become trapped in the pools and [[benthic]] species of vegetation. Occasioanally can be found at the upper edge of the low salt marsh. ==Brackish water marsh== Brackish marsh panne variants occur in brackish marshes (short graminoid variant), some brackish marsh pannes are dominated by the narrow-leaved cattail (''[[Typha angustifolia]]'') an invasive exotic species.
