Mullus
''Mullus'' is a subtropical marine genus of ray-finned fish of the family Mullidae (goatfish) and includes the red mullets, occurring mainly in the southwest Atlantic near the South American coast and in the Eastern Atlantic including the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. These fish are benthic and can be found resting and feeding over soft substrates. Distribution Members of the genus ''Mullus'' can be found in the Atlantic Ocean, including the Mediterranean Sea. They are often found over soft substrates, such as sand, in which they search for prey using sensitive whiskers. Species There are currently four recognized species in this genus: Commercial Significance The most commercially important of these species is the Red Mullet (''M. barbatus'') which is common in Mediterranean cuisine and often fished for using seine nets, a practice thought to be damaging as it can remove large numbers of spawning Spawn is the Egg cell, eggs and Spermatozoa, sperm released or de ...

Mullus Surmuletus
The striped red mullet or surmullet (''Mullus surmuletus'') is a species of goatfish found in the Mediterranean Sea, eastern North Atlantic Ocean, and the Black Sea. They can be found in water as shallow as or as deep as depending upon the portion of their range that they are in. This species can reach a length of fish measurement, SL though most are only around . The greatest recorded weight for this species is . This is a commercial fisheries, commercially important species and is also sought after as a game fish. Etymology ''Mullus barbatus'' and it are commonly called "red mullets" and often are not distinguished, though they can be told apart by the striped first dorsal fin of ''M. surmuletus''. Despite its English name, the striped red mullet, of the goatfish family Mullidae, is only very distantly related to the Mugil cephalus, grey mullet and other species called "Mullet (fish), mullet", classified in their own separate order and family.

Mullus Barbatus
''Mullus barbatus'' (red mullet) is a species of goatfish found in the Mediterranean Sea, Sea of Marmara, the Black Sea and the eastern North Atlantic Ocean, where its range extends from Scandinavia to Senegal. They are fished, mostly by trawling, with the flesh being well regarded. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed their conservation status as being of "least concern". Taxonomy This fish was first described in 1758 as ''Mullus barbatus'' by the Swedish zoologist Carl Linnaeus in his Systema Naturae. FishBase currently recognizes two subspecies, though the validity of ''M. b. ponticus'' is uncertain: * ''M. b. barbatus'' (red mullet) Linnaeus, 1758 (found throughout most of its range) * ''M. b. ponticus'' (blunt-snouted mullet) Essipov, 1927 (found in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov) Description The red mullet can grow to a standard length of , but a more common length is about half that. The body is somewhat laterally compressed. The snout is shor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Goatfish
The goatfishes are ray-finned fish of the family Mullidae, the only family in the suborder Mulloidei of the order Syngnathiformes. The family is also sometimes referred to as the red mullets, which also refers more narrowly to the genus '' Mullus''. The family name and the English common name mullet derived from Latin ''mullus'', the red mullet; other than the red mullet and the striped red mullet or surmullet, the English word "mullet" generally refers to a different family of fish, the Mugilidae or gray mullets.''Oxford English Dictionary''''s.v.'' 'mullet'/ref> Description Goatfish are characterized by two chin barbels (or goatee), which contain chemosensory organs and are used to probe the sand or holes in the reef for food. Their bodies are deep and elongated, with forked tails and widely separated dorsal fins. The first dorsal fin has six to eight spines; the second dorsal has one spine and 8–9 soft rays, shorter than anal fin. There are one or two spines in the a ...

Red Mullet
The red mullets or surmullets are two species of goatfish, '' Mullus barbatus'' and ''Mullus surmuletus'', found in the Mediterranean Sea, east North Atlantic Ocean, and the Black Sea. Both "red mullet" and "surmullet" can also refer to the Mullidae in general. Classification Though they can easily be distinguished—''M. surmuletus'' has a striped first dorsal fin—their common names overlap in many of the languages of the region. In English, ''M. surmuletus'' is sometimes called the ''striped'' red mullet. Despite the English name "red mullet", these fishes of the goatfish family ''Mullidae'' are not closely related to many other species called " mullet", which are members of the grey mullet family ''Mugilidae''. The word "surmullet" comes from the French, and ultimately probably from a Germanic root "sor" 'reddish brown'. Cultural impact They are both favored delicacies in the Mediterranean, and in antiquity were "one of the most famous and valued fish". They are very si ...

Black Sea
The Black Sea is a marginal sea, marginal Mediterranean sea (oceanography), mediterranean sea lying between Europe and Asia, east of the Balkans, south of the East European Plain, west of the Caucasus, and north of Anatolia. It is bounded by Bulgaria, Georgia (country), Georgia, Romania, Russia, Turkey, and Ukraine. The Black Sea is Inflow (hydrology), supplied by major rivers, principally the Danube, Dnieper and Dniester. Consequently, while six countries have a coastline on the sea, its drainage basin includes parts of 24 countries in Europe. The Black Sea, not including the Sea of Azov, covers , has a maximum depth of , and a volume of . Most of its coasts ascend rapidly. These rises are the Pontic Mountains to the south, bar the southwest-facing peninsulas, the Caucasus Mountains to the east, and the Crimean Mountains to the mid-north. In the west, the coast is generally small floodplains below foothills such as the Strandzha; Cape Emine, a dwindling of the east end ...

Red Goatfish Stray (cropped)
Red is the color at the long wavelength end of the visible spectrum of light, next to orange and opposite violet. It has a dominant wavelength of approximately 625–750 nanometres. It is a primary color in the RGB color model and a secondary color (made from magenta and yellow) in the CMYK color model, and is the complementary color of cyan. Reds range from the brilliant yellow-tinged scarlet and vermillion to bluish-red crimson, and vary in shade from the pale red pink to the dark red burgundy. Red pigment made from ochre was one of the first colors used in prehistoric art. The Ancient Egyptians and Mayans colored their faces red in ceremonies; Roman generals had their bodies colored red to celebrate victories. It was also an important color in China, where it was used to color early pottery and later the gates and walls of palaces. In the Renaissance, the brilliant red costumes for the nobility and wealthy were dyed with kermes and cochineal. The 19th century brought the ...
