Overall they are very salty fish and can live in fresh, brackish and salty water at the same time.
Not only is the wild mullet well adapted to salinity, but so is the captive mullet.
So when it comes to captive breeding, both brackish and freshwater farming methods can be used.
A. Mullet is a freshwater fish or a marine fish Mullet is a fish in the genus Mullet in the family Mulletidae in the order Scleractinia, and it is also called "乌头", "乌支", "乌鲻", etc. It is also known as "烏鲻", "乌鲻".
Mullets have a very distinctive characteristic, which is that they are well adapted to salinity.
Mullets can adapt to lower salinity in freshwater environments and higher salinity in seawater.
Overall, they can be considered to be a broadly saline species that can live in fresh, brackish, or salty water.
Not only are wild mullet well adapted to salinity, but so are captive mullet.
So they can be raised in captivity equally well in both freshwater and brackish water.
In fact, mullets are one of the most important fish species farmed in brackish and freshwater in the south of China because they have a high economic value and are well adapted.
Two, mullet grows where it has been described above, mullet is particularly well adapted to the concentration of salt, living in freshwater, brackish freshwater or brackish water is not a problem.
Specifically, the mullet can live normally within the range of salinity 0-0.04, such as in the river estuary, the junction of salt and fresh water and the bay, are able to live.
Also, in terms of food sufficiency, the mullet likes to grow where there is plenty of food.
Specifically, the mullet's main food is the humus and animals near the silt, so they like to grow in the waters where the silt is more abundant, such places can meet their need for food.
