“…Exotic mullets that have been introduced to a region for aquaculture purposes, e.g., Planiliza haematocheilus (Temminck & Schlegel 1845) in the Black Sea (Harrison, 2004), are excluded from this analysis. Note: Mullet species distribution patterns were primarily extracted from Barletta and Dantas (2016), Durand and Whitfield (2016), Ghasemzadeh (2016), Shen and Durand (2016), Thieme et al (2022) and Turan (2016). Translocated or non-native mugilid species in a particular region were not considered in the calculation of provincial species richness.…”

“…Most of these landscapes consist of very small islands in terms of land area but with high mountain ranges. Coral reef islands and atolls are the last type of landscape found in Oceania and are low-lying features, some with enclosed lagoons(Ghasemzadeh, 2016).Two major climatic zones encompass most of Oceania, viz. tropical and temperate.…”

This review examines the published literature on the distribution and species richness of the family Mugilidae around six continents as well as their phylogenetic relationships in a time-calibrated tree. Three mugilid species-rich regions were identified globally, namely the Coral Triangle, southern Asia and southern Africa, all of which have between 16 and 18 morphologically recognized species. Two of the species hotspots are tropical, and only southern Africa incorporates temperate waters. The centre of mugilid evolution and then global dispersion appears to be located in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific. Speciation within the family was promoted mainly by plate tectonics, eustatic sea-level changes, tropical climate and high habitat diversity within this region. The number of these tropical species that radiated out to the coastal waters of Africa and America was clearly less than the number that remained in the central Indo-Pacific region. Nonetheless, access by tropical mugilid species was greater to Africa than the Americas because of the direct tropical and subtropical coastal connectivity to the former continent. This enabled more tropical mugilids to reach Africa than America, with the latter probably relying on Palaeocene "island hopping" or "rafting" to move eastwards across the Pacific Ocean. In addition, tropical mugilids were able to access warm western and central African coastal waters from the Pacific prior to the closure of the Tethys Sea gap in the eastern Mediterranean and prior to the development of the cool Benguela Current upwelling off the southwest African coast, and from America through at least two transatlantic rafting events.

“…Starushenko and Kazansky (1996) predicted its movement towards the Mediterranean region, where it is recorded in the Aegean Sea since 1995 (Minos, Imsiridou and Economidis, 2010), but further expansion in the western direction has not been reported (Minos's personal comments). Since one of the factors that confer resistance to invasions is the native biodiversity of a recipient ecosystem (Miralles et al, 2016), we assume that the further expansion of the so-iuy mullet was stopped by the higher local biodiversity (of both free-living and parasites (Surugiu et al, 2010;Sarabeev, 2015a;Turan, 2016;Serena et al, 2020)) and more abundant schools of mugilids (author's personal observation) in the Mediterranean ecosystems when compared with Azov-Black Seas.…”

This short review compiles the data concerning the quality of flesh, processed roe and smoked fillets of grey mullets (Mugilidae), including when available the data concerning the fish from freshwater and in particular those from Tunisian reservoirs. The biochemical and mineral composition of the fish, the nutritional benefits and the potential health risks related to the consumption of fish products are discussed with regard to human health, taking into consideration the nutritional recommendations and normative toxicological limits defined by leading health authorities. Flesh proximal compositions of fish from freshwater are relatively scarce, but the few available lipid data are within the very large proximal range (from less than 1% to more than 11%) reported for grey mullets in general. Most of the studies reveal the predominance of unsaturated fatty acids with a substantial proportion ω3 type not only for fish from marine environment but also for those from freshwater. Flesh constitutes a source of essential amino acids and mineral nutrients too. The mullets are generally reported to be safe for human consumption except the fish from heavily contaminated zones. Globally, it should be regarded as an interesting contribution to a healthy diet. The mullets are also greatly appreciated for the production of salted and dried roe as well as smoked fillets, which allow increasing their economic value while preserving products health beneficial attributes. Data concerning processing mullet's roe from freshwater are missing, but it may be supposed that these roes have acceptable texture, taste and flavour as they are highly sought by connoisseurs. It is recommended to perform studies on the qualities of freshwater mullet's roe and to look for labelling the origin for both the roes and the smoked fillets of mullet from Tunisian reservoirs dedicated to the production of drinking water as it would guarantee that the fish come from unpolluted environments.
