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.
