Species
Four species are currently recognised as comprising the genus Crenimugil:[2]
- Crenimugil buchanani (Bleeker, 1853) (Bluetail mullet)
- Crenimugil crenilabis (Forsskål, 1775) (Fringelip mullet)
- Crenimugil heterocheilos (Bleeker, 1855) (Half fringelip mullet)
- Crenimugil pedaraki 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, Paracrenimugil, 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]
