Abstract
Mullet Rhinomugil corsula is a threatened fish of the family Mugilidae and used as food fish in Asian countries. But its natural populations have been declined due to over-exploitation and various ecological changes in its natural habitats leading to an alarming condition and deserving high conservation importance. This paper recommends measures for the conservation of the remnant isolated wild populations of R. corsula in Asian countries.
