Since R.B. Parker just mentioned bioluminescent earthworms, I wonder
whether some participant in this discussion group has a more general
knowledge on bioluminescence, i.e. on occurrence in other zoological
groups. Does somebody know about a kind of inventory of bioluminescent
marine invertebrates? I wonder whether bioluminescence has yet been
reported for zoantharians (Anthozoa).
On a recent deep dredging cruise in the Mediterranean I happened to
observe bioluminescence in a unidentified zoantharian.
Any comment will be welcome. Thanks!
