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