Crenimugil
# Crenimugil

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:

* 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. In addition, the longfin mullet (Crenimugil pedaraki) is listed by some authorities in the separate genus Moolgarda.
