What is a "mullet"?

A mullet is a fish species known for its slender body and distinctive elongated fins. They are found in both saltwater and freshwater environments around the world. Mullet have a streamlined shape and are often silver or gray in color, with scales that provide protection. These fish are highly adaptable and can tolerate a range of habitats, from estuaries and coastal areas to rivers and lakes. Mullet are omnivorous, feeding on a varied diet that includes algae, small invertebrates, and detritus. They are known for their ability to leap out of the water, often seen jumping over obstacles or evading predators. Mullet are also important ecologically, as they help maintain the health of coastal ecosystems by consuming algae and contributing to nutrient cycling. They are valued by both commercial and recreational anglers for their sportfish qualities and as a source of food. Mullet are a fascinating group of fish that contribute to the biodiversity and balance of aquatic environments.
