Abstract：
Fluorescence is a widespread phenomenon found in animals, bacteria, fungi, and plants. In marine environments fluorescence has been proposed to play a role in physiological and behavioral responses. Many fluorescent proteins and other molecules have been described in jellyfish, corals, and fish. Here we describe fluorescence in marine species, which we observed and photographed during night dives in the Banda Sea, Indonesia, and in the Red Sea, Egypt. Among various phyla we found fluorescence in sponges, molluscs, tunicates, and fish. Our study extends the knowledge on how many different organisms fluoresce in marine environments. We describe the occurrence of fluorescence in 27 species, in which fluorescence has not been described yet in peer-reviewed literature. It especially extends the knowledge beyond Scleractinia, the so far best described taxon regarding diversity in fluorescent proteins.
摘要：
荧光是一种普遍存在于动物体内的现象,细菌,真菌,和植物。在海洋环境中,已经提出荧光在生理和行为响应中起作用。许多荧光蛋白和其他分子已经在水母中被描述，珊瑚,和鱼。这里我们描述了海洋物种的荧光，我们在班达海夜间潜水时观察和拍照，印度尼西亚,在红海,埃及。在各种门中，我们在海绵中发现了荧光，软体动物,被衣动物,和鱼。我们的研究扩展了在海洋环境中有多少种不同生物发荧光的知识。我们描述了27个物种中荧光的发生，在同行评审的文献中尚未描述荧光。它特别扩展了Scleractinia以外的知识，到目前为止，关于荧光蛋白多样性的最佳描述分类单元。
