COMPREHENSIVE INVESTIGATIONS OF LUMINESCENCE IN THE SEA DURING SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITIONS
Abstract
The level and scope of investigation of marine luminescence in the Soviet Union and the United States is compared. The great interest of American oceanographers in the phenomenon and their achievements are underscored. In order to elucidate the complex nature of bioluminescence, the authors urge to intensify investigations and construct charts of the distribution of luminescent organisms in vertical and horizontal directions, of intensity of bioluminescence, its variations in various taxonomic groups at various depth levels, and hydrological seasons, etc. (Author)
