Species
There are currently five recognized species in this genus:[3]
- Osteomugil cunnesius (Valenciennes, 1836) (Longarm mullet)
- Osteomugil engeli (Bleeker, 1858) (Kanda)
- Osteomugil perusii (Valenciennes, 1836) (Longfinned mullet)
- Osteomugil robustus (Günther, 1861) (Robust mullet)
- Osteomugil speigleri (Bleeker, 1858) (Speigler's mullet)
FishBase places O. speigleri in Valamugil along with Valamugil formosae but this name is regarded as a synonym of Crenimugil seheli by other authorities.[4]
