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.
There are currently two recognized species in this genus: [1]
Mullet, mullets, The Mullet or The Mullets may refer to:
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 26 genera.
The goatfishes are fish of the family Mullidae, the only family in the order Mulliformes. The family is also sometimes referred to as the red mullets, which also refers more narrowly to the genus Mullus.
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.
The sand grey mullet is a species of mullet found in coastal marine waters of Australia.
Neomyxus leuciscus, the acute-jawed mullet, is a species of mullet found in the tropical west and central Pacific Ocean. It is the only species in the genus Neomyxus.
The freshwater mullet is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Mugilidae. It is endemic to South Africa.
Diplosentidae is a family of parasitic worms from the order Echinorhynchida.
Chaenomugil proboscideus, the snouted mullet, is a species mullet found along the western coast of North America from Mexico to Panama. It is the only species in the genus Chaenomugil. It is found in rocky, areas near the coast where it feeds on algae growing on rocks which it scrapes off using its specialized teeth. This species grows to a length of 22 centimetres (8.7 in) TL. This fish is of minor importance in local commercial fisheries, mostly in Panama. This is the only known species in its genus.
The so-iuy mullet, also known as the haarder, redlip mullet or so-iny mullet, is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Mugilidae.
Kayamkulam Kayal, Kayamkulam Lake or Kayamkulam Estuary is a shallow brackish water lagoon stretching between Panmana and Karthikapally. It has an outlet to the Arabian sea at Kayamkulam barrage. The Kayal used to be connected to the sea most of the time except during dry season when a bar like formation separates it from the sea. Now the bar has been opened up permanently for construction of Kayamkulam Fishing Harbor. Kayamkulam boat race is conducted in Kayamkulam Kayal. Kayamkulam Kayal is the third largest back water or kayal in Kerala.
The hornlip mullet is a species of ray-finned fish in the mullet family from the Indo-Pacific from the Red Sea to Micronesia. It is the only species in the monospecific genus Plicomugil.
Chelon bispinosus is a ray-finned fish of the family Mugilidae. It is one of seven species in the genus Chelon. It is endemic to waters near Cape Verde in the east central Atlantic Ocean. This species is found in the neritic zone.

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.
The shark mullet, also known as the sharp-nosed mullet, popeye mullet, or skipjack mullet, is a species of ray-finned fish from the grey mullet family Mugilidae. It is found in Australia and New Guinea where it occurs in muddy freshwater habitats and mangroves, it feeds on algae and insects taken from the surface but also on benthic invertebrates. It can breathe air and sometimes moves over exposed mud by wriggling. It was formerly classified in the genus Rhinomugil, with the corsula, but is now placed in its own monospecific genus, Squalomugil.
The yellowtail mullet is a species of potamodromous ray-finned fish, a mullet belonging to the family Mugilidae. It is the only species in the genus Minimugil. It is found in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh.
