Striped mullet--South Carolina

Description

The striped mullet (Mugil cephalus L.) is distributed circumglobally in tropical and semitropical waters between latitudes 42°N and 42°S. Even though considered a marine species, striped mullet are euryhaline and can be found year round throughout the full range of estuarine salinities in the southeastern United States. Striped mullet are important throughout the world for commercial fisheries and aquaculture. In the southeastern United States there are large-scale commercial fisheries for striped mullet in North Carolina and Florida. South Carolina and Georgia have much more limited landings.
