According to the 'Shark Extremes' link below, there are at least three contenders for smallest shark species. They are so similar that differences may be unimportant, and accurate measurements of unambiguously adult specimens are difficult to make. They are Etmopterus perryi, Squalidus laticaudus, and Eridacnis radcliffei.
The spined pygmy shark typically grows to a length of around 22 cm (8.7 inches) as an adult. It is one of the smallest shark species in the world.
The dwarf lanternshark (Etmopterus perryi) is considered the smallest and lightest shark species. They typically grow to be about 8 inches in length and weigh less than a pound.
No, the smallest shark is actually the dwarf lanternshark, which grows to be about 7-8 inches long. The cookiecutter shark, while small in comparison to other sharks, can reach lengths of about 16-22 inches.
The spined pygmy shark. 15 cm long. Lives only in deep water. Attracts prey with it's own luminescence ( it glows in the dark)
