The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects three fresh-water samples with different hardness values (25, 250, and 750 mg L-1 CaCO3) a control (sea water salinity 15% 2500 ± 130.9 on Mugil liza (mullet) juveniles by conducting long-term test (for 50 days). Zootechnical performance [weight gain (WG), feed conversion rate, specific growth survival (%)], stress indicator parameters (glucose)...

Abstract Fish local knowledge is important to recognize species and contribute conservation management strategies. Thus, our aim was provide diagnostic information for the rapid identification of Mugilidae in Caeté-Taperaçu Extractive Reserve Bragança (PA) northern Brazil. A total 28 fishers were interviewed using semi-structured questionnaires. Most interviewees have lived their resident villa...

The mullets are a widespread group of ecologically and economically important fishes disputed taxonomy due to their uniform external morphology. Barcoding phylogenetic studies from various locations around the world largely highlighted species diversity underestimation using morphological criteria used establish family. Here, we investigated mullet Pakistan, biogeographic area where nearly no w...

The southern population of Mugil liza is distributed from Argentina (47°S) to the state São Paulo, Brazil (23°S). Young mullets use estuaries as nursery grounds, and prior recruitment into they surf zone a temporary habitat. Based on 12 consecutive months sampling, this study used generalized linear models (GLM) analyse relationships between environmental variables presence relative abundance y...

The mullet species under the family Mugilidae, considered to be a commercially important teleost, are mostly found in coastal waters throughout world, distributed tropical, subtropical and temperate areas. In terms of taxonomic study, biogeography distribution pattern mullets remain unclear due difficulty separating based on morphological characters. Thus, there is need study taxonomy Mugilidae...
