photophore

This photophore is green in young fish and becomes more red as it ages.

There is a red stripe on the lower jaw running to the photophore.

The third is tiny and round, located between the eye and the large red photophore.

Each tentacle has an organ called a photophore, which produces light.

This red light is emitted from a suborbital photophore.

The genus is characterised by the presence of a lidded photophore over each eye.

Some organisms, like the Viperfish, are believed to attract small fish or prey by using its photophore.

"We wanted to know, how do you make a transparent structure, a lens, somewhere else in the body, like in a photophore?"

The red photophore of Malacosteus thus allows it to illuminate prey without being detected.

The postorbital photophore in this species is larger than in M. australis.

H. pfefferi has a single ocular photophore and does not have photophores at its arm tips.

The ink sac contains a dumbbell-shaped photophore.

Photophore may also refer to:

A photophore is a light-emitting organ which appears as luminous spots on various marine animals, including fish and cephalopods.

It also differs in lateral photophore count, as well as in morphological characters.

A large photophore is found on the underside and contains two pores through which the luminescent material is extruded.

There are three bioluminescent photophores near the eyes: beneath the eye is a large, teardrop-shaped suborbital photophore that emits red light.

Instead of evolving a new lens protein to make a lens-like structure in the photophore, the squid simply reached into its existing bag of tricks.

In the darkness, whether mating is successful or not may depend on the female; she can choose whether to signal the male with her circumoral photophore.

This species is mainly distinguished from M. niger by a smaller postorbital photophore in both sexes and lower numbers of lateral photophores.

The light emitted by the photophore is believed to be of a specific wavelength, possibly both preventing miscommunication and the attraction of predators.

Spirula are capable of emitting a green light from a photophore located at the tip of their mantle, between the ear-shaped fins.

The most striking feature of these fish is extremely enlarged first filament of dorsal fin, called the illicium, with bioluminescent photophore at its end.

The red photophore of Malacosteus consists of a pigmented sac with a reflective inner lining and an internal mass of gland cells.
