Cestraeus is a genus of mullets found in rivers of Asia and Oceania.
There are currently three recognised species in this genus: [1]
Mullet may refer to:
Coregonus is a diverse genus of fish in the salmon family (Salmonidae). The Coregonus species are known as whitefishes. The genus contains at least 68 described extant taxa, but the true number of species is a matter of debate. The type species of the genus is Coregonus lavaretus.
The mullets or grey mullets are a family (Mugilidae) of ray-finned fish found worldwide in coastal temperate and tropical waters, and some species in fresh water. Mullets have served as an important source of food in Mediterranean Europe since Roman times. The family includes about 78 species in 20 genera.
Threadfins are silvery grey perciform fish of the family Polynemidae. Found in tropical to subtropical waters throughout the world, the threadfin family contains eight genera and about 40 species. An unrelated species sometimes known by the name threadfin, Alectis indicus, is properly the Indian threadfish.
Jean-Jacques Dussumier (1792–1883) was a French voyager and merchant from Bordeaux. He is known as a collector of zoological species from southern Asia and regions around the Indian Ocean between 1816 and 1840. These collections were later studied and classified by French zoologists such as Georges Cuvier, Achille Valenciennes, among others.
Chelon is a genus of mullets found in coastal marine waters, estuaries and rivers in the Atlantic Ocean and Arabian Sea.
Crenimugil is a genus of mullets found in coastal marine waters and rivers in the Indo-Pacific region.
Mugil is a genus of mullet in the family Mugilidae found worldwide in tropical and temperate coastal marine waters, but also entering estuaries and rivers.
Clinus is a genus of clinids found in the southeastern Atlantic and western Indian ocean.
The freshwater mullet is a species of fish in the family Mugilidae. It is endemic to South Africa.
Vermetus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Vermetidae, the worm snails or worm shells.
Omobranchus is a large genus of combtooth blennies found in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans.
Parablennius is a diverse genus of combtooth blennies found in the Atlantic, western Pacific, and Indian oceans.
Scartichthys is a genus of combtooth blennies found in the Atlantic and Indian ocean.
Eleginops maclovinus, the Patagonian blenny or rock cod, is a species of notothenioid fish found in coastal and estuarine habitats around southernmost South America, ranging on half south of Chile on the Pacific side, and Argentina on the Atlantic side. It is also found around the Falkland Islands, where it has been featured on a stamp. It is the only member of its genus, which is the only member of the family Eleginopsidae. Its English names refer to the vaguely blenny-, mullet-, or cod-like appearance, but it is not related to true blennies, mullets, or cods. Locally, it is often called róbalo, a name also used for the common snook.
Paramugil is a genus of mugilid mullets found in coastal waters, estuaries and rivers in the western Pacific region, ranging from the South China Sea to Australia.
Planiliza is a genus of mullets found in coastal marine waters, estuaries and rivers in the Indo-Pacific.
Osteomugil is a genus of mugilid mullets found in coastal waters of the Indo-Pacific, including estuaries and rivers. They were formerly included in Moolgarda and Valamugil.
Planiliza carinata, the keeled mullet, is a species of grey mullet from the family Mugilidae which is found in the western Indian Ocean and eastern Mediterranean Sea. It colonised the Mediterranean by Lessepsian migration from the Red Sea through the Suez Canal. The keeled mullet is a species of minor importance in commercial fisheries.
