Excerpt from Report on the Edible Fishes of Lake Menzaleh: Their Capture and Preservation

As a family the mullets are essentially shore fishes, but they have a preference for the mouths of rivers and cut-off lakes where the water is brackish, while not unfrequently they are found to enter rivers. Bouri and tobar have been caught in the Nile as far south as Assouan. When kept in fresh water ponds, mullet arefound to improve rapidly in weight and condition. The experiment might be tried here, and the ponds stocked with the mullet fry which abound in the shallows of the lake at midsummer.
