Ijimaia dofleini, often called the Ô-shachiburi in Japanese, is a species of ray-finned fish within the family Ateleopodidae.[1][2] The species is known from four localities in the Pacific Ocean. These localities were in marine waters of the Sagami Sea, Ryuku Islands, Taiwan, and Society Islands at depths of 300 to 500 meters, living near benthopelagic environments on outer continental shelfs and slopes. The species can grow up to lengths of 124 to 170 centimeters.[3][4] It has been assessed as 'Data deficient' by the IUCN Red List in 2018 due to there being limited information on its distribution, population, and ecology.
