Mugil cephalus is very adaptable to salt concentration, and can live in both fresh water with low salt concentration and seawater with high salt concentration. Generally speaking, they belong to euryhaline fish, which can adapt to life in fresh water, salt water and salt water at the same time. Not only do wild mullets have a good adaptation to salinity, but so do farmed mullets. Therefore, in artificial breeding, both the method of saltwater breeding and the method of freshwater breeding can be used.
Is mullet a freshwater fish or a marine fish? Where does it grow?

1. Is mullet a freshwater fish or a marine fish

? Mullet is a fish of the genus Mullet in the family Mullet of the class Osteichthyes. It is also called "Aconitum", "Aconitum", "Aconitum" and so on. Mullets have a very obvious characteristic, that is, they are very adaptable to salinity. In the freshwater environment, the salinity is relatively low, and the mullet can adapt to it; while in the seawater, the salinity is relatively high, and the mullet can also adapt to it. Generally speaking, they can be regarded as a kind of euryhaline, which can live in fresh water, brackish water and salt water.

Not only the wild mullet has a good adaptability to salinity, but also the farmed mullet. Therefore, when they are cultured artificially, they can also be cultured in freshwater or saltwater. In fact, Mugil cephalus is one of the most important fishes in brackish and freshwater aquaculture in southern China, because they have high economic value and good adaptability.

2. Where

does the mullet grow? As mentioned above, the adaptability of mullet to salt concentration is particularly good, and it is not a problem to live in fresh water, brackish water or brackish water. Specifically, mullet can live normally in the salinity range of 0-0.04, such as in the estuary of rivers, the junction of salt and fresh water, and the bay. In addition, from the point of view of the abundance of food, mullets like to grow in places where food is abundant. Specifically, the main food of mullets is humus and animals near the silt, so they like to grow in places where the silt is abundant, which can meet their food needs.
