A Compact Bathyphotometer

Abstract

The long-term goal is to develop a compact and low cost Bioluminescence (BL) measuring Bathyphotometer. This real time system can be hull mounted, towed, moored, or used as an over the side instrument. The low cost design allows it to be used as an expendable for underway measurements. The economy and simplicity of this instrument will allow investigators to make bioluminescence an affordable measurement.
