 | While many oceanographic studies have focused on the distribution of bioluminescence in the marine environment (Stukalin 1934, Tarasov 1956, Seliger et al. 1961, Clarke and Kelly 1965, Bityukov 1967, Lapota and Losee 1984, Swift et al. 1985, Lapota et al. 1988, Batchelder and Swift 1989, Lapota et al. 1989, Lapota and Rosenberger 1990, Neilson et al. 1995, Ondercin et al. 1995, Swift et al. 1995), little understanding of the seasonality ... |

| Despite strong interest in short term process effects on dinoflagellates there have been few investigations on the seasonality of marine bioluminescence. Long term aspects of the development of bioluminescence are unknown for most oceans. The present study was designed to cast light on this question. A station for measuring bioluminescence was established in August 1993 at San Clemente Island (SCI), 100 km offshore of Southern California. Bioluminescence was measured with ... |

|
 | A system for measuring toxicity levels of a solution includes a water proof sample container transparent to visible light which holds an aqueous test solution containing bioluminescent organisms. A light tight chamber has a cavity which holds the sample container and includes a light port. A stress generating system positioned in the sample container generates pressure pulses which stimulate the organisms to generate light emissions. A light detector system mounted ... |

| Oceanic and coastal bioluminescence in surface waters, in many instances, is produced by microscopic dinoflagellates. Their light emission is usually observed at a maximum during the night hours and markedly inhibited during the day. This diel periodicity has never been observed in situ for identified species and never before in heterotrophic Protoperidinium dinoflagellates. Pronounced differences in stimulable bioluminescence measured with bathyphotometers in Vestfjord, Norway in September 1990 correlated with simultaneous ... |

|
| The Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea have been observed to exhibit surface bioluminescent displays unparalled in intensity and spatial extent. In July 1985, we conducted bioluminescence measurements in the surface waters of the western Arabian sea during the period of the Southwest monsoon and to identify the causative plakton for those displays. A unique type of bioluminescence display, known as Milky sea, was observed on the ocean surface for 3 ... |
