Copepod luminescence

  • Conference paper
Book cover Biology of Copepods

Part of the book series: Developments in Hydrobiology ((DIHY,volume 47))

Abstract

The general features of copepod bioluminescence are reviewed, with reference to the distribution, development, spectral emission, fluorescence, intensity and kinetics. The hydrodynamic problems of glandular expulsion of luminescence at low Reynolds numbers are noted and the observed behaviours and possible functions are discussed.
