Assessment rationale/justification
This inshore and estuarine species is not yet confirmed from UAE waters, but may occur there. Confusion with other mullet species contributes to this uncertainty. It is likely impacted by habitat loss from coastal development and cessation of rivers in the Arabian Gulf region. It is taken in fisheries, but it not thought to be as heavily exploited as Liza klunzingeri. It is listed as Data Deficient.
