1. Bioluminescent Squid

   Linked via "deep-sea"

   Photophore Structure
   Photophores are complex structures, exhibiting varying degrees of morphological sophistication depending on the depth and behavioral needs of the species. A typical deep-sea photophore consists of three main components: the light source (containing the symbiotic bacteria or the luciferin complex), a reflector layer composed of guanine crystals, and an iris or shutter mechanism often controlled by chromatophores or specialized muscle t…

2. Bioluminescent Squid

   Linked via "deep-sea"

   The diet of bioluminescent squid is predominantly piscivorous and zooplanktivorous. However, certain deep-dwelling species are known to employ light lures to attract smaller prey. For example, members of the genus Abyssolumen have been observed using patterned flashes to mimic the distress signals of smaller crustaceans, a behavior termed "mimetic photonic predation" [^4].
   One peculiar aspect noted in deep-sea studies involves the interaction between squid schools and [geomagnetic interferen…
