The Persian Gulf

This is a list of fish recorded from the Persian Gulf, a penetration of the Indian Ocean bordering Kuwait, Iran, Iraq, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and an exclave of the sultanate of Oman. This list is mostly based on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species[citation needed] and comprises locally used common names, scientific names and its relationship with humans, if needed.

List ordering is phylogenetic and taxonomy complies where possible with the current usage in Fishbase, however outdated taxa as the result of splits or renames of synonymy will be updated accordingly.
