Eumicrotremus

See text Eumicrotremus is a genus of lumpfishes native to the northern oceans.

The name for this genus comes from the Greek roots eu meaning "good", mikros meaning "small" or "little", and trema meaning "hole".

[2] Eumicrotremus was first proposed as a genus in 1862 by the American biologist Theodore Gill with Johan Christian Fabricius's Cyclopterus spinosus as its type species.

[1] The 5th edition of Fishes of the World does not recognize subfamilies within the Cyclopteridae,[3] however, other authorities place this genus in the subfamily Eumicrotreminae.

[1] There are currently 18 recognized species in this genus:[2][4][5]
