Branchiostoma japonicum, the Japanese lancelet, is a species of lancelet within the family Branchiostomatidae.[1][2][3] The species grows to lengths of 50 to 60 millimeters in length and inhabits waters off the coasts of China and Japan.[2][3] In Xiamen, the lancelets inhabiting the waters were originally thought to be of Branchiostoma belcheri in 1932, however recent studies revealed B. japonicum is also present in the lancelet populations.[4]
