Hypomesus is a genus of smelts (Osmeridae), consisting of five species found in the northern hemisphere.
Species
There are currently five recognized species in this genus:[2]
- Hypomesus japonicus (Brevoort, 1856)
- Hypomesus nipponensis McAllister, 1963 (Japanese smelt)
- Hypomesus olidus (Pallas, 1814) (Pond smelt)
- Hypomesus pretiosus (Girard, 1854) (Surf smelt)
- Hypomesus transpacificus McAllister, 1963 (Delta smelt)
The pond smelt H. olidus is widespread across northeastern Asia, Alaska, and northwestern Canada , while the Delta smelt H. transpacificus is an endangered species of the Sacramento Delta in California . H. chishimaensis was at one time thought to be a separate species, but has since been identified as a population of H. nipponensis.
