Bioluminescence of the polychaete Tharyx sp. (Annelida: Cirratulidae) in deep-seawater from Toyama Bay, Japan
Commercially pumped deep-seawater is an easily accessible source of deep-sea animals. In this study, we report the bioluminescence of a cirratulid polychaete, Tharyx sp., obtained from pipeline seawater pumped up from a depth of 384 m in Toyama Bay. Two living worms collected from the nylon mesh attached to the pump outlet produced greenish light when disturbed. They were identified as Tharyx sp. (Cirratulidae) by morphological examination and DNA sequencing. Bioluminescence of cirratulid worms is not widely reported and, to our knowledge, this is the first report of bioluminescence in the genus Tharyx.
期刊介绍:
Plankton and Benthos Research is a peer-reviewed journal publishing quarterly original papers, reviews and notes dealing with any aspect of the biology and ecology of planktonic and benthic organisms and their interactions with the environment in any aquatic system, and is open to all scientists around the world. Submission of a paper is held to imply that it represents an original contribution not previously published and that it is not being considered elsewhere.
