    • The mountain mullet (Dajaus monticola) is a freshwater fish of the family Mugilidae.[4] It can be found in North and South America, from North Carolina, Florida, Louisiana and Texas in the United States[2] to Colombia and Venezuela, including the West Indies in the Antilles.[5] It is the only species in the monotypic genus Dajaus.[6]

    Conservation[edit]

    It is considered threatened in Costa Rica. It is found from sea level up to 650m in altitude in the rivers of the Maquenque National Wildlife Refuge.[7] It is common in the Toro Negro State Forest in central Puerto Rico.[8] and in Mountain rivers of the Dominican Republic.
