Etmopterus lantern sharks use coelenterazine as the substrate for their luciferin-luciferase bioluminescence system
Etmopterus lantern sharks use coelenterazine as the substrate for their luciferin-luciferase bioluminescence system Gaku Mizuno, Daichi Yano, José Paitio, Hiromitsu Endo, Yuichi Oba ABSTRACT: The lantern shark genus Etmopterus is a group of deep-sea bioluminescent fishes. They emit blue light mainly from the ventral body surface, and the primary biological function is considered to be

Model Selection of Shark Attack Case
Size Does Matter: Model Selection of Shark Attack Case Andri Wibowo ABSTRACT: Shark unprovoked attacks consist of fatal and non-fatal cases. Numerous cases have been reported involving shark species from Carcharhinus melanopterus with length of 145.5 cm to half-ton Carcharodon carcharias. Currently there are more (P < 0.05) unprovoked non-fatal cases with the average is
