Do phytoplankton produce the flowing lure seen in angler fish?


Rate This Answer

Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism. Ninety percent of deep-sea marine life are estimated to produce bioluminescence in one form or another. Most marine light-emission belongs in the blue and green light spectrum, the wavelengths that can transmit through the seawater most easily. However, certain loose-jawed fishes emit red and infrared light and the genus Tomopteris emits yellow bioluminescence.
