Salangichthys
Genus of fishes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Salangichthys microdon is a species of icefish found in Japan, Korea and the Russian Far East. With the recent removal of S. ishikawae to the genus Neosalangichthys[1] this species is the only remaining member of the genus Salangichthys. This species grows to a total length of 5 cm (2.0 in).[2] Despite its small size, it is considered a food fish and caught in commercial fisheries.[3][4]
