Abstract
We all must have seen the fireflies in summer’s night. These Fireflies emit their own light through the chemical reactions in their abdomens that glows and produce light, this is the process referred to as luminescence. However, have we ever recognized or had the information about the seascapes that may also glow and glitter because of the gift to produce light by many marine organisms? Some fish had a lighted lure before of their mouths to draw in prey, whereas some squid shoot out light liquid, rather than ink, to confuse their predators. Worms and small crustaceans also use bioluminescence to attract mates. We Humans primarily see the bioluminescence triggered by a physical disturbance, such as waves or a moving boat hull that create the disturbance and force the organisms to light up with higher intensity. These living organisms live throughout the water columns, from the surface of the water to the ocean floor, from close to the coast to the open ocean, within the deep sea, luminescence is an extraordinarily within the sea, and as the deep seas are vast, bioluminescence could be the very first kind of communication used by these animals in the planet as per their evolution and adaptation.
