Synopsis

The bacterial and chemical bases for the luminescence of a number of marine animals had been demonstrated by the end of the nineteenth century. Since that time a considerable amount has been learned about the chemical reaction systems of some bioluminescent animals and a generalised reaction sequence can be postulated to encompass the various components extracted from the different species.

The factors which determine, at the various biological levels, the intensity and the spectral and spatial distribution of the emitted light are described and discussed in terms of the chemical nature of the reaction systems and the biology of the animals concerned.
