FBname: Bluetail mullet
Remark: Considered here as provisionnally accepted species.  Considered as a junior synonym of  <i>Crenimugil pedaraki</i> in Senou, 2002 (Ref. 123264).  Genetic data supports the population from the Indian Ocean to be restricted to <i>Crenimugil buchanani</i>; the Philippine population is probably an undescribed new species (J.T. Williams, pers. comm. 12/2018).  More studies are needed, or send references.
Comments: Found in coastal waters, including estuaries and rivers (Ref. 5213). Young fish frequent estuaries and also ascend rivers and coastal creeks (Ref. 2847). It feeds on algae, diatoms, detritus, and crustaceans (Ref. 9812). Oviparous, eggs are pelagic and non-adhesive (Ref. 205). Caught during the spawning period (Ref. 9812). Other methods include the use of stakenets, pouch nets, and barrier nets (Ref. 9812).
