The freshwater mullet (Pseudomyxus capensis ) is a species of fish in the family Mugilidae . It is endemic to South Africa .
Distribution
[ edit ]
The freshwater mullet is endemic to South Africa where is distribution extends from Kwazulu-Natal , the Eastern Cape to the Western Cape , from Kosi Bay to the Breede River drainage.[1]
Habitat and biology
[ edit ]
This species is found in estuaries and the juveniles need freshwater reaches for growth and safety. The adults spawn at sea, after reaching sexual maturity in estuaries.[1] algae and small invertebrates over muddy substrates.[2]
Conservation
[ edit ]
The freshwater mullet's range and population have been impacted by the damming of streams and the introduction of alien fish.[1]
Taxonomy
[ edit ]
The freshwater mullet was previously assigned to Myxus Fringelip mullet than to the Sand grey mullet , necessitating the erection of the monospecific genus Pseudomyxus for this species.[3] [4]
