Oedalechilus labeo is a marine fish from the mullet family. It has thick lips that help collect food from the bottom.
Oedalechilus labeo differs from other mullets with its very thick lips. This fish is important for nature because it recycles organic remains on the sea floor.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
