From : http://www.petplace.com/fish/a-glow-in-the-dark-world-beneath-the-sea/page1.aspx "Bioluminescence is a glow that is the result of a chemical reaction within the tissues. This reaction takes place when a special enzyme and a special protein inside the cells are exposed to oxygen and water at a temperature of about 75 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius). The result is energy that gives off light and creates patches of bioluminescent tissue, photophores, which are kidney-shaped organs arranged in distinct groups on the organism."
