Although we find that lanternfish primary photophores are similar in many of their structural components, including the possession of a modified scale cup, photocytes, pigment, and …

The variety of photophores in squid is exceeded only by those in fishes. Several groups of fish use luminous bacterial symbionts as their source of light. Shallow-water species (e.g., ponyfish …

Sep 28, 2024 · Luminous organs, or photophores, are specialized structures found in certain fish species, particularly those inhabiting deep-sea environments. These organs serve crucial …

Photophores are luminescent organs consisting of clusters of photogenic glandular cells. Photophores are located on different parts of the fish's body (on the sides of the body, on the …

May 17, 2018 · Photophores are a common feature of invertebrates and fish living in the deep sea, often being arranged in lines or other patterns over the body surface to produce a …

Here, we use micro-computed tomography, photography and dissection to evaluate the presence/absence of eye-facing photophores in three families of stomiiform fishes.

Photophores are glandular in origin and produce light by a chemical reaction. Photophores vary in size and form but often contain such structures as lenses, reflecting layers, and filters in …

Dec 19, 2014 · Photophores are organs that are used by fish (and invertebrates) to produce light either by chemical reaction or through symbiotic bacteria capable of bioluminescence. Most …

Jan 1, 1994 · Many fish species, all of them marine, have developed very sophisticated light organs, the photophores, in which light originates either from a specialized fish cell line or from …

The fish possess species-specific serial photophores and/or luminous tissue. The mostly ventral primary photophores are well developed and contain lenses, while smaller, less-developed …

Functional studies of the autonomic innervation in the photophores of luminescent fishes are scarce. The majority of studies have involved either the stimulation of isolated photophores or …

Nov 13, 2024 · Although we find that lanternfish primary photophores are similar in many of their structural components, including the possession of a modified scale cup, photocytes, pigment, …

Photophores are a common feature of invertebrates and fish living in the deep sea, often being arranged in lines or other patterns over the body surface to produce a characteristic display of …

May 1, 2024 · Fishes control the output of light intensity using different mechanisms which can be categorized as being under control of hormonal or neuronal pathways. Usually, neural control …

A photophore is a light-emitting organ which appears as luminous spots on various marine animals, including fishes and cephalopods. The organ can be simple, or as complex as the …

Jan 22, 2020 · Lanternfish, a family Myctophidae, use ventro-lateral body photophores for camouflage of the ventral silhouette, a strategy called counterillumination. While other deep …

Feb 24, 2025 · How fish biologists discovered birds of paradise have fluorescent feathers. A first survey of museum specimens finds biofluorescence in 37 of 45 species. With an extravagant …

Jul 1, 2011 · The majority of studies have involved either the stimulation of isolated photophores or the modulatory effects of adrenaline-induced light emission. The fish skin is a highly complex …
