Compared with other fish, the activity level of this family tends to be normal. Members of this family have been dated back to the Oligocene epoch of the Tertiary period. This family may be found from 62° n to 45° s and 125° w to 180° e. Etymology of this family name : Latin, mugil, -ilis = grey mullet

Diet

Feeds on epiphytic algae, detritus and small benthic or planktonic organisms , pelagic eggs and larvae.

Migration

Migratory species (Ref. 51442). Spawning takes place at sea near the coast during gatherings between September and February (Ref. 30578, Ref. 51442). The eggs develop in the sea and juveniles colonize the littoral zone and estuaries (Ref. 51442). The adults enter the lower parts of the rivers (Ref. 51442).
