Eumicrotremus uenoi is a species of lumpfish native to the Northwest Pacific. It is found off the Korean Peninsula and Japan , where it occurs at a depth range of 90 to 100 m (295 to 328 ft). It is a very small demersal fish, reaching 2 cm (0.8 inches) SL. The species was named after Dr. Tatsuji Ueno, formerly of the Hokkaido Fisheries Experimental Station, in honor of his work with the systematics of Cyclopteridae, the lumpfishes.[1] It was described in 2017 following a taxonomic review of "dwarf" lumpfishes that also resulted in the description of Eumicrotremus jindoensis and the reclassification of the species Lethotremus awae as Eumicrotremus awae.[2]
