Planiliza is a genus of mullets found in coastal marine waters, estuaries and rivers in the Indo-Pacific.
Taxonomy
[edit]The genus Planiliza was resurrected for nearly all Indo-Pacific species previously assigned to Liza because DNA-based cladistic analyses recovered Liza as polyphyletic, with some species placed as sister to the Chelon type species and nearly all Indo-Pacific species to Planiliza.[1]
Species
[edit]The following species are classified under Planiliza:[2][1]
- Planiliza abu (Heckel, 1843) (Abu mullet)
- Planiliza alata (Steindachner, 1892) (Diamond mullet)
- Planiliza carinata (Valenciennes, 1836) (Keeled mullet)
- Planiliza haematocheilus (Temminck & Schlegel, 1845) (So-iny Mullet)
- Planiliza klunzingeri (F. Day, 1888) (Klunzinger's mullet)
- Planiliza lauvergnii (Eydoux & Souleyet 1850) (Eastern keelback mullet)
- Planiliza macrolepis (A. Smith, 1846) (Largescale mullet)
- Planiliza mandapamensis J. M. Thomson, 1997 (Indian mullet)
- Planiliza ordensis (Whitley, 1945)
- Planiliza planiceps (Valenciennes, 1836) (Tade gray mullet)
