    Thanks for explaining at 00:55 that light is the most efficient way for these organisms to communicate at depth. I was never sure why bioluminescence was prevalent in the deep sea before, but makes complete evolutionary sense why it exists.

      That’s probably not it’s name. Also, they have to use their own footage, or they have to pay to use it. The jellies that have the shimmering rainbow streaks down the sides aren’t actually glowing. That shimmer is caused by their combs refracting the bright lights of the submersibles (hence their common phylum name, “comb jellies”. Occasionally, you can see that shimmer from the sun if they’re near the surface on a sunny day (there are many species of comb jellies).

    Just came from the MB Aquarium lecture on bioluminescence. I’ve been going to the MBA for decades and was disappointed to see how the lecture quality has fallen. When I came across this video I was so relieved. The lecture at MBA talked down to the audience as if we were all toddlers, anthropomorphizing to the extreme (complete with storybook style descriptions) and provided hardly any actual information. The last third of the lecture was wasted on politics which could’ve been better discussed in their own session. Thank you MBARI for providing actually educational videos.

    Thank you, Mr. Haddock! You are one of a handful that have practically written the book on bioluminescence. I have a few questions for you, if that's OK..
    First, that's a fascinating bit about the Gossamer worm... so do all _Tomopteris_ emit yellow light? How about organisms within _Tomopteridae?_
    Also, I know you said you don't know why they produce yellow light, but surely you at least have some guesses?
    Last, why are freshwater systems basically devoid of bioluminescence? If you don't know for certain, I'm happy to hear any hypotheses.

    Steve: Is possible to copy this type of bioluminiscence for the dairy live in our houses?...Why nobody is doing this?, Not is ecological? or not there is sufficient knowledge for to reproduce this light artificially? This emits a tenuous velvety light so beautiful without comparation with something in the Earth.. Always I was waiting for someone that explore and developed this beautiful light because I think that the deep sea have so much for to show and to teach us, and not have the right attention that deserve in importance. I feel happy of to find someone working in this, thank you for his thrilling work and description!!...

    Seven colours of rainbow in blue sky are similar to deep blue sea critters emmiting colours i guess. A rainbow is a meterological phenomenon that is caused by reflection,refraction & dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of muticoloured 'arc'. Maybe bioluminiscent creature emmit colours for same reason. Sky is blue. Ocean is blue. Mother nature is very similar in its execution of things.
