Todo Sobre los Animales Que Brillan en la Oscuridad

All About Animals That Glow in the Dark They are the most abundant vertebrate animal on the planet, and almost no one knows they exist. Lanternfish, from the family Myctophidae, with more than 250 species, live between 200 and 1,000 meters deep, an area where sunlight is so dim that it is practically indistinguishable from total darkness. To survive there, they evolved photophores: specialized organs distributed along their bellies and flanks that emit blue-green light at around 470–490 nanometers.
