  abstract = {{D}espite the ecological and commercial importance of grey mullets (fish family {M}ugilidae), their taxonomy and systematics are still much debated. {R}easons for this are the low level of morphometric variability and the relatively poor phylogenetic information borne by the morpho-anatomical characters used thus far in diagnosing species. {H}ere, we evaluate the potential of {DNA} barcoding to accurately delineate species and assign unknown specimens to taxa in the family {M}ugilidae. {O}ur reference sample consists of 257 individuals from 91 lineages characterized by their nucleotide sequences at the {COI}, cytochrome b, and 16{S} r{RNA} loci. {T}hese lineages correspond to 55 species according to the current taxonomy, and 36 presumed cryptic species. {A}ll known and presumed cryptic species within the '{M}ugil cephalus' (n = 15) and '{M}. curema' (n = 6) species complexes, as well as within genera {C}helon (n = 10), {C}renimugil (n = 6), {O}steomugil (n = 6), and {P}laniliza (n = 18) were successfully recovered as distinct lineages by {COI} gene sequences (598 bp), demonstrating the utility of this marker to delineate species in the family {M}ugilidae. {I}nconsistencies in the labeling of sequences deposited in {G}en{B}ank were ascribed to species misidentification. {A} proportion of these misidentifications occurred in the course of dedicated barcoding surveys, further emphasizing the need for an accurate and exhaustive reference barcoding database for {M}ugilidae.},
