hiny spotlights on deep-sea fish, flashing worms,
squids that squirt clouds of glowing ink—they have
no plugs, wires or batteries. How do they glow?

It’s bioluminescence (by-oh-loo-muh-NEHS-sense)—
which means the making of light by living creatures.

This deep-sea creature fishes for food. It has a long, skinny fin on top of its head
that works like a fishing rod. A little bulb filled with glowing bioluminescent
bacteria sits at the end of the rod.
Most of the world’s glowing
animals live in the sea.
These glowing creatures live
down in the inky dark, deepest
parts of the sea where sunlight
can not reach. Glowing body
parts attract prey and scare
away predators. Some fish
confuse their enemies by
blinking on and off while
zigzagging through the water.
Others attract mates and
communicate using their
flashing lights.

When it wants to eat, the angler fish dangles the glowing bait in front of its
mouth. A curious fish swims up for a closer look and—snap! the angler fish’s
huge jaws snatch it up!

Angler fish are small, but they can be big eaters. Once, a 3-1/2 inch angler was
found with a nearly 7-inch lantern fish in its
stretchable stomach!
Help this little
fish escape the
angler fish.

Sometimes, on dark nights, the
waves of the ocean appear to glow.
This is caused by tiny creatures called
dinoflagellates (di-no-FLA-jel-lates).
Each one is about the size of a pencil
point, and it produces tiny sparks
in the surf.
