Top Klunzinger'S Mullet Fishing Countries

Klunzinger's mullet (Liza klunzingeri) is a small, coastal fish species belonging to the Mugilidae family, commonly found in the western Indian Ocean, particularly in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea. Recognized for its adaptability to brackish and marine environments, this mullet is an important resource for local fisheries due to its abundance and role in regional diets. The top countries harvesting Klunzinger's mullet are Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates, where artisanal and small-scale commercial fisheries target this species using traditional nets and traps. In these countries, Klunzinger's mullet supports both local consumption and, to a lesser extent, regional trade, contributing to the livelihoods of coastal communities and the broader fishing industry in the area.
