Crenimugil is a genus of mullets found in coastal marine waters and rivers in the Indo-Pacific region.

Species[]

Four species are currently recognised as comprising the genus Crenimugil:[2]

  • (Bleeker, 1853) (Bluetail mullet)
  • (Forsskål, 1775) (Fringelip mullet)
  • (Bleeker, 1855) (Half fringelip mullet)
  • Valenciennes, 1836 (Longfin mullet)
  • Crenimugil seheli (Forsskål, 1775) (Bluespot mullet)

The half-fringelip mullet (Crenimugil heterocheilos), usually assigned to Crenimugil, appears to belong to a separate genus, , based on DNA-based cladistic analysis.[3][4] In addition, the longfin mullet (Crenimugil pedaraki) is listed by some authorities in the separate genus Moolgarda.[5]
