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]

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]
