The bobo mullet (Joturus pichardi), is a species of ray-finned fish of the mullet family Mugilidae. It is the only species in the genus Joturus, one of 17 mullet genera containing altogether about 80 species of ray-finned fish.[1] It occurs in rivers, including brackish waters, in much of the Gulf of Mexico basin from Mexico as far south as Panama and the Caribbean coast of Colombia, as well as the West Indies and the United States state of Florida.[1][2] The specific name honours the Cuban lexicographer and geographer Esteban Pichardo (1799-1879).[3]
