Etmopterus sp.

Tooth type: Cutting-clutching.

Ebert et al. (2021) listed 42 recent species of Etmopterus , the biology of most of which is poorly known. Cortés (1999) listed nine recent species, with TL values ranging from 3.8 to 4.2, which have bony fishes and cephalopods as their staple food. Representatives of this genus can be found from 0 to more than 2490 m depth (Ebert et al., 2021).
