The deep sea makes up about 78% of the planet’s inhabitable
volume, but little is known about most of its inhabitants, more than
half of which are capable of making their own light, or bioluminescence.

Using a new lighted jellyfish lure and a unique camera system, researchers
from HARBOR BRANCH are working to reveal for the first time life in the
deep sea.
