“…The shape of the urohyal of Mugil cephalus L., 1775 given by Kusaka (1974), the shape of those six species of the four mugilid genera described by Antović & Simonović (2006) and the Mugil species described by Keivany (2014) look very close to that of Planiliza subviridis obtained in the present study. Such similarity indicates that the shape of the urohyal in the members of the family Mugilidae is conservative.…”

The urohyal is incorporated within the hyoid and branchial arches and performs a significant role in the mouth opening-closing mechanism of fishes, and is considered a synapomorphy of teleostean fishes. Morphological variation of the urohyal, in terms of size and shape parameters, can allow species identification. Morphology of the urohyal in 49 species belonging to 43 genera and 29 families from the Persian Gulf and from the Oman Sea were compared using size and shape measurements. The results examine the suitability of using the urohyal morphology in differentiating fish species from this region; highlighting the taxonomic value of the urohyal, which until now, had been studied little in terms of use as a diagnostic feature in the classification of teleosts.

“…The family Mugilidae, commonly referred to as grey mullets, includes more than 60 species (Thomson, 1997) inhabiting coastal and brackish waters of all tropical and temperate regions of the world. From eight Mediterranean mugilids, six species: Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758, Chelon labrosus (Risso, 1827), Liza aurata (Risso, 1810), Liza ramada (Risso, 1827), Liza saliens (Risso, 1810) and Oedalechilus labeo (Cuvier, 1829), are commonly found in the Adriatic Sea where they represent Euro‐Mediterranean faunistic elements (Antović and Simonović, 2006). The boxlip mullet, O .…”

“…Only the phylogenetic and phenetic relationships of O . labeo to other mugilids have been studied in detail in the Atlantic and Mediterranean (Rossi et al., 2000; Antović and Simonović, 2006).

The main objective of this study was to investigate boxlip mullet, Oedalechilus labeo (Cuvier, 1829), a species that lives in open, oligotrophic and stenohaline waters, exhibits slower growth rates and has a longer life span than other mugilids. A total of 1662 specimens ranging from 2.2 to 24.4 cm TL were obtained by beach seine in the eastern Adriatic Sea. The overall sex ratio was unbalanced in favour of females (1.0 : 1.3) and differed statistically from the expected 1 : 1. The reproductive season extended through summer and autumn. All specimens above 15 cm TL were sexually mature. Length-weight relationship for males was TW (g) = 0.010 · TL (cm) 2.975 and TW (g) = 0.009 · TL (cm) 3.014 for females. The age study comprised 150 (38.5%) males, 192 (49.4%) females, and 47 (12.1%) immature O. labeo, for a total of 389 individuals. Age of the fish was determined by scale readings, with the maximum age of 10 + observed for both sexes. A predominance of age classes 1 + and 2 + (71.0%) in the total catch was noted. Parameters of the von Bertalanffy growth equation for combined samples were: L ¥ = 25.93 cm, k = 0.192 year )1 and t 0 = )1.427 year. The growth parameters showed that males grew at a slightly lower rate than females. The size and age frequency distributions of both sexes were not significantly different. When compared to other mugilids, O. labeo reaches the lowest maximum body length and has a relatively slower growth and a longer life span.
