(Bleeker, 1860)

Salangichthys microdon, the Japanese icefish, is a species of icefish found in Japan, Korea and Siberia. 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 length of 10.0 centimetres (3.9 in) TL.

S. microdon may show both migratory (anadromous) and non-migratory life histories, with both life-history types occurring in sympatry.[2][3]
