Description

Trachystoma, or sicklefin mullets, are distinguishable by their sickle-shaped pectoral fins. This genus is relatively small and includes species primarily found in Australian waters, inhabiting estuarine and coastal environments. Sicklefin mullets are noted for their distinctive fin shape and are of interest due to their unique morphological characteristics and potential importance in local ecosystems. They are occasionally caught by fisheries but are not a major commercial species.
