Red bioluminescence in fishes: on the suborbital photophores of Malacosteus, Pachystomias and Aristostomias


 * The study analyzes red led production in three different types of dragon fishes (Malacosteus, Pachystomias and Aristostomias)
 * It quantifies photophore production between species and how they produce red light
 * Found that one of the species uses a brown cutoff filter to alter the wavelength of the light
 * Goes into depth about the difference in wavelength modulation between species
 * Hypothesizes that the uses for the light are mating and prey location.

Bioluminescent and Red-Fluorescent Lures in a Deep-Sea Siphonophore


 * The study looks at the utilization of lures by deep sea siphonophores
 * Lures contain a red light
 * Siphonophores are non-visual organisms, and the usage of a bioluminescent luring system in a non-visual organisms is largely unheard of
 * They analyze the importance of longer wavelength light across deep sea ecosystems and its importance in marine ecosystems

Long–wave sensitivity in deep–sea stomiid dragonfish with far–red bioluminescence: evidence for a dietary origin of the chlorophyll–derived retinal photosensitizer of Malacosteus niger


 * Looks at the same three species of viperfish at the Herring paper above
 * Talks about how the red wavelength is much longer (4700nm) and essentially affords the fish a private illumination for prey
 * The species produce three visual pigments that are adjusted to see longer wavelengths
 * Pigments are found to be in mesopelagic copepods, suggesting that they are derived through a diet of said copepods

Localisation and origin of the bacteriochlorophyll-derived photosensitizer in the retina of the deep-sea dragonfish Malacosteus niger


 * This paper again looks at the dragonfish Malcosteus niger
 * Looks at how the fish has retinal pigment that can pick up its own red light bioluminescence production
 * The mechanism for the acquisition of the pigment is unknown and the study looks at whether the chlorophyll derived pigment could have been a result of endosymbiosis at some point in its evolution
 * Found that there were no genes of bacterial origin

Far Red Bioluminescence from Two Deep-Sea Fishes


 * Looks at red bioluminescence production in Aristostomias scintillans (Gilbert) and Malacosteus niger (Ayres)
 * Does a comparison of how they produce red bioluminescence from the front and blue bioluminescence at the back.
 * Compares wavelengths of different lights produced
 * Theorize that the red wavelength comes from an energy transfer system and wavelength selective filtering.
