Biology and Ecology of Bioluminescent Marine Fishes

This enlightening new volume details over 200 species of  bioluminescent marine fishes along with their biotechnological and  therapeutic applications. It delves into the chemistry, diversity,  biology, and functions of these fishes.

Bioluminescence,  which is a type of chemiluminescence and is a "cold living light," is  seen in a wide variety of organisms from bacteria to fish. The chemicals  and circumstances of this phenomenon are used for biotechnological,  commercial, and therapeutic applications. Bioluminescence imaging  technology has provided valuable means for the monitoring of different  biological processes for
