Esta capacidad no solo les permite comunicarse o pasar desapercibidos en la zona mesopel\u00e1gica mediante la contrailuminaci\u00f3n \u2014mimetizando la tenue luz solar que filtra desde la superficie para camuflarse de los depredadores subyacentes\u2014, sino que tambi\u00e9n posiciona a los etmopt\u00e9ridos como elementos ecol\u00f3gicos clave en la red tr\u00f3fica del talud continental y las cuencas profundas de los oc\u00e9anos globales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Etmopteridae\u00a0de Chile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En aguas chilenas han sido registradas once especies de tiburones linterna, aunque la presencia del tibur\u00f3n linterna hawaiano (<em>Etmopterus villosus<\/em>) es dudosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>N\u00famero de taxones en Chile:<\/strong>\u00a011 (especies v\u00e1lidas)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Aculeola nigra<\/em> De Buen, 1959<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Centroscyllium granulatum <\/em>G\u00fcnther, 1887<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Centroscyllium nigrum<\/em> Garman, 1899<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Etmopterus brachyurus<\/em> Smith &amp; Radcliffe, 1912<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Etmopterus granulosus <\/em>(G\u00fcnther, 1880)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Etmopterus litvinovi <\/em>Parin &amp; Kotlyar, 1990<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Etmopterus lucifer <\/em>Jordan &amp; Snyder, 1902<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Etmopterus pusillus <\/em>(Lowe, 1839)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Etmopterus pycnolepis<\/em> Kotlyar, 1990<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Etmopterus unicolor<\/em> (Engelhardt, 1912)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Etmopterus villosus <\/em>Gilbert, 1905<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Referencias<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>H\u00fcne, M.
