⚡️What is Bioluminescence ?
Major Points about Bioluminescence:
1. Cause: Produced by certain marine organisms, mainly microscopic plankton called dinoflagellates.
2. How it works:
- Light is emitted through a reaction between the luciferase enzyme and luciferin compound in the presence of oxygen.
3. Purpose in marine life:
- Used by animals to evade predators, attract prey, or during mating.
4. Common organisms: Seen in sponges, jellyfish, fish, worms, and other marine creatures.
5. Visibility:
- Occurs at night due to the dinoflagellates' circadian (24-hour) cycle.
- Best visible in warm weather and low light conditions.
6. Locations in India:
- Seen at Havelock Island (Andamans), Thiruvanmiyur Beach (Chennai), Mattu Beach (Karnataka), and Bangaram Island (Lakshadweep).
7. Occurrence: Also widespread in deep sea and visible in lagoons or near breakwaters.
