look up the evolution of bioluminescence. it basically states that certain one celled creatures/bacteria that glow do it because light is released out into the water when the noctiluca and plankton perform anarobic respiration.

How does Noctiluca produce light?

Noctiluca bioluminescence is produced through a chemical reaction that occurs within the organism. This reaction involves the enzyme luciferase and a light-emitting molecule called luciferin, which together create the characteristic blue-green light seen in Noctiluca. This bioluminescent light is believed to help deter predators or attract prey.
