Moolgarda
Moolgarda is a genus of mugilid mullets found in coastal waters of the Indo-Pacific, including estuaries and rivers.
The genus has had a difficult and complicated history. The genus has been considered as a nomen dubium in the past, which has led to complications with its priority over Crenimugil and Valamugil. Whitley considered the thinlip mullet the closest relative of Moolgarda pura. This article follows the most recent work (Bogorodsky et al., 2024).
