Liseta Mullet . Because the previous reported maximum length record, 91 cm ( 15.8 in ) TL ( McEachran and Fechhelm 1998 ), likely represents Mugil curema , the maximum size of this species is unclear. The largest specimen in the Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection is 39 cm ( 15.4 in ) SL. Mission Creek, Santa Barbara County, southern California (Camm Swift, pers. comm. to M.L.) to Chile (Harrison in Fischer et al. 1995 ), including Gulf of California ( Robertson and Allen 2002 ), and Islas Galápagos ( Grove and Lavenberg 1997 ). Shallow marine, brackish, and fresh waters (Harrison in Fischer et al. 1995 , Argulo et al. 2020); depth: surface (nightlight; Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), intertidal to 25 m ( 82 ft ) (min.: Thomson and Lehner 1976 ; max.: Amezcua Linares 1996 ). We note that Britzke et al. (2019) determined that fish identified as “ Mugil curema Valenciennes, 1836 ” from the eastern Pacific are, in fact, Mugil setosus Gilbert, 1892 . Their work, and that of Menezes et al. (2015) , limit the geographic range of M. curema to the western South Atlantic. Further research ( Neves et al. 2020 ) suggests that Mugil curema is a species complex.
