PlanilizaPlaniliza is a genus of mullets found in coastal marine waters, estuaries and rivers in the Indo-Pacific.TaxonomyThe 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.SpeciesThe following species are classified under Planiliza:Planiliza abu Planiliza alata Planiliza carinata Planiliza haematocheilus Planiliza klunzingeri Planiliza lauvergnii Planiliza macrolepis Planiliza mandapamensis J. M. Thomson, 1997 Planiliza ordensis Planiliza planiceps ''Planiliza subviridis''
