The blackbelly lanternshark or lucifer shark, Etmopterus lucifer, is a shark of the family Etmopteridae, found around the world in tropical to temperate seas, at depths between 150 and 1,250 meters.[2] Its length is up to 47 centimeters.[2] This species consumes mesopelagic cephalopods, fishes, and crustaceans.[3]
Blackbelly lanternsharks are ovoviviparous.[2] They exhibit bioluminescence.[4]
In June 2018 the New Zealand Department of Conservation classified the blackbelly lanternshark as "Not Threatened" with the qualifiers "Data Poor" and "Secure Overseas" under the New Zealand Threat Classification System.[5]
