Salangidae
Salangidae, the icefishes or noodlefishes, are a family of small osmeriform fish, related to the smelts. They are found in Eastern Asia, ranging from the Russian Far East in the north to Vietnam in the south, with the highest species richness in China. Some species are widespread and common, but others have relatively small ranges and are threatened. Depending on species, they inhabit coastal marine, brackish or fresh water habitats, and some are anadromous, only visiting fresh water to spawn. Appearance and life cycle They are slender, have translucent or transparent bodies and almost no scales (females are entirely scale-less, while males have a few). The head is strongly depressed and has numerous teeth. The adults are believed to be neotenic, retaining some larval features. For example, the skeleton is not fully ossified, consisting largely of cartilage. They are small fish, typically around long; only a few reach , and the largest species no more than .

Neosalanx
''Neosalanx'' is a genus of icefishes native to Eastern Asia, ranging from Korea, through Japan and China, to Vietnam. They inhabit coastal marine waters, estuaries and river basins (including lakes). There are both species that are threatened and species that are widespread. They are up to in standard length. Despite their small size they are important food fish, and for this reason there have been attempts of introducing ''N. pseudotaihuensis'', ''N. taihuensis'' and ''N. tangkahkeii'' to parts of China where not naturally found. Most of these attempted introductions failed, but some were successful and in these places they are now often the most common fish. Feeding on planktonic crustaceans and tiny fish, they have outcompeted certain native fish like ''Anabarilius grahami'', which have become rare and threatened. Species Fishbase currently recognizes 10 species in this genus, though ''N. taihuensis'' was found to be invalid during the DNA sequencing: * ''Neosalanx anders ...

Salangichthys
''Salangichthys microdon'', the Japanese icefish, 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'' this species is the only remaining member of the genus ''Salangichthys''. This species grows to a total length of . Despite its small size, it is considered a food fish and caught in commercial fisheries.Senta, T., I. Kinoshita, and T. Kitamura (1986).

Hemisalanx
''Hemisalanx brachyrostralis'' is a species of icefish endemic to the Yangtze basin, China. It is the only known species in the genus ''Hemisalanx'', after ''Hemisalanx prognathus'' was moved to genus '' Salanx''. In a study of the five freshwater icefish species in the Yangtze, it was a relatively low-density species, being much less frequent than '' Neosalanx taihuensis'' and ''N. oligodontis'', but more than ''Protosalanx hyalocranius'' and '' N. tangkahkeii''. ''H. brachyrostralis'' reaches up to in total length Fish measurement is the measuring of individual fish and various parts of their anatomies. These data are used in many areas of ichthyology, including taxonomy and fisheries biology. Overall length * Standard length (SL) is the length of a fish ....

Neosalangichthys
''Neosalangichthys ishikawae'', the Ishikawa icefish, is a species of Salangidae that is endemic to marine waters near the coast in northern Honshu, Japan.Senta, T., I. Kinoshita, and T. Kitamura (1986). Larval Ishikawa Icefish, Salangichthys ishikawae from Surf Zones of Central Honshu, Japan. Bull. Fac. Fish. Nagasaki Univ. 59: 29–35. Originally placed in the genus ''Salangichthys'', the species was assigned in 2012 to the monotypic genus ''Neosalangichthys''.Fu, C., Guo, J., Xia, R., Li, J. & Lei, G.

''Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 62 (3): 848-855. doi:10.1016/j.ympev.2011.11.031'' Adults stay in relatively shallow open marine waters, but larve and immatures typically stay off beaches, often in the surf zone, in waters that range from marine to brackish.
