Range of the blackbelly lanternshark (in blue)

The blackbelly lanternshark or lucifer shark (Etmopterus lucifer) is a shark of the family Etmopteridae found around the world in tropical and temperate seas at depths between 150 and 1,250 meters – the mesopelagic zone.[2] Compared to other mesopelagic fish predators and invertebrates, the blackbelly lanternshark is thought to reside in shallower, more southern waters.[3] E. lucifer can reach up to 47 centimeters in length[2] and consumes mesopelagic cephalopods, fish, and crustaceans.[4] Blackbelly lanternsharks are bioluminescent, using hormone controlled mechanisms to emit light through ventral photogenic organs called photophores[5][6] and are presumed to be ovoviviparous.[2] The blackbelly lanternshark has been classified as "Not Threatened" within the New Zealand Threat Classification System.[7]
