Pterothrissus gissu, also known as the Japanese gissu, is a species of fish in the family Albulidae.[3] The Japanese gissu is a rare fish that is distributed in deep water off northwest Pacific Ocean. This fish is known to pass through a leptocephalus larval stage, but only metamorphosed (after reaching the fully grown stage) specimens have been available.[4] This species is the only member of its genus.[1]
