Mullet (Liza sp.) - 100 fils

Issued in 1985 as part of Bahrain's Marine Life and Fishes definitive series, this stamp commemorates the Mullet (Liza sp.), a fish widely distributed in coastal and estuarine waters throughout the Arabian Gulf. Mullets are recognized for their elongated bodies, silvery coloration, and schooling behavior. They have long played an important role in the traditional fisheries of Bahrain and the Gulf region, providing a valuable source of food and supporting local fishing communities.

By featuring the Mullet, the State of Bahrain highlighted the importance of coastal fisheries and the rich marine resources of the Arabian Gulf. The issue celebrated a species closely linked to Bahrain's maritime heritage and emphasized the value of preserving marine ecosystems that sustain local fisheries and biodiversity.
