Etmopterus is a genus of sharks in the family Etmopteridae found in the deep-water of the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans.[2] These species are often parasited by the specialized parasitic barnacle Anelasma squalicola, which embeds itself into the skin of the shark and extracts nutrients from its bloodstream.[3]

Species

There are currently 40 recognized species in this genus:
