Abstract
The systematics, morphology, distribution, biology, economic importance and conservation of the freshwater mullets of Iran are described, the species are illustrated, and a bibliography on these fishes in Iran is provided. Two species are found in the Caspian Sea basin as exotics (Chelon auratus, C. saliens), two species in southern Iranian fresh waters as native species (Mugil cephalus, Planiliza abu) and two species in brackish waters of rivers (Ellochelon vaigiensis, C. subviridis).
