Sunday 🦐🦠

Several news articles recently about showing glowing waves crashing against beaches. Usually caused by , this reaction (luciferin with luciferase) is widespread throughout the water column by many organisms (fish, jellyfish, zooplankton, mollusks, bacteria...). Very common in the deep sea for communication, predation, and escape, and often due to bacterial . Most light is blue or green but can be red.

Last night, when most sensible people were in bed, I was standing in the sea for a couple of hours watching and photographing the bioluminescent plankton at Rhossili Bay!

Bioluminescent plankton is notoriously unpredictable and can appear at any time at any tide or not appear at all.

Oooo! New (to me) things! I think these are some dinocysts of the Polykrikos genus of dinoflagellates. If you think different, let me know!

I’m still on that steep dinoflagellate cysts learning curve ! Here are some spikey fellas from my latest sample.

This is very cool. Some dinoflagellates have a resting stage as part of their lifecycle, called a dinocyst (or hypnozygote). And here’s one! A dinocyst of the genus Protoperidinium.

Look at what I found! My first Noctiluca scintillans aka sea sparkle! These are the dinoflagellates that bioluminescence when disturbed. Only really visible is there’s lots of them I would think. But so exciting!

Mussels everywhere, but not allowed to eat! Red tide neurotoxins accumulate in shellfish, making them too dangerous to eat. Participants warned not to eat them because they can cause Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning.
