Myxus mullets [Myxus]
Description
Myxus, commonly referred to as Myxus mullets, are a genus known for their elongated bodies and relatively small scales. They inhabit warm coastal waters and estuaries, especially in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Myxus mullets play a role in their ecosystems as part of the food chain and are known for their ability to tolerate different levels of salinity, making them important for studies on fish adaptability and resilience. While not primarily targeted by large-scale fisheries, they are sometimes caught for local consumption.
