Marine Luminescent Plankton: a list of the species
J. Poupin, A.-S. Cussatlegras & P. Geistdoerfer
Keywords: Ecology, Bioluminescence, Plankton, Luminescence, Systematic
 The Laboratoire d'Océanographie de l'Ecole Navale (LOEN), Brest, France has developed a bathyphotometer as an additional probe to a Seabird® CTD. It is used to measure plankton bioluminescence off the western coast of Brittany.
A model to predict natural plankton bioluminescence in the area is also in development. To better understand the biological basis of this phenomena a documented checklist of luminescent plankton species has been prepared at the laboratory: Poupin, Cussatlegras & Geistdoerfer, 1999. Plancton Marin Bioluminescent, LOEN report septembre 1999, 64 pp.
Electronic pages have been elaborated in parallel with this LOEN report, as a mean to regularly update it. Links to related sites illustrate some of these plankton species. |
