(Steindachner, 1892)

Planiliza is a genus of mullets found in coastal marine waters, estuaries and rivers in the Indo-Pacific.

Taxonomy

The genus Planiliza was resurrected for nearly all Indo-Pacific species previously assigned to Liza because DNA-based cladistic analyses recovered Liza as polyphyletic, with some species placed as sister to the Chelon type species and nearly all Indo-Pacific species to Planiliza.[1][2]

Species

The following species are classified under Planiliza by FishBase:[3][4]
