Taxonomy

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]

Species

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