Hemisalanx brachyrostralis is a species of icefish endemic to the Yangtze basin, China. [1] [2] [3] It is the only known species in the genus Hemisalanx, after Hemisalanx prognathus was moved to genus Salanx . [2] [4] 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 . [5] H. brachyrostralis reaches up to 13.6 cm (5.4 in) in total length. [1]
