Bioluminescence of lantern fish (Myctophidae) in response to changes in light intensity
Nature, 1977THE characteristic ventral distribution of fish photophores suggests that their luminescence reduces the silhouette when viewed against a background of downwelling light1–3. This hypothesis is supported by demonstration of direct neural control of photophores in several species of myctophids and by morphological and behavioural indications that ...

Growth and mortality of larval Myctophum affine (Myctophidae, Teleostei)
Journal of Fish Biology, 2015The growth and mortality rates of Myctophum affine larvae were analysed based on samples collected during the austral summer and winter of 2002 from south‐eastern Brazilian waters. The larvae ranged in size from 2·75 to 14·00 mm standard length (LS). Daily increment counts from 82 sagittal otoliths showed that the age of M.

Stimulation of bioluminescence in lanternfishes (Myctophidae). II.
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1972Injections and applications of hydrogen peroxide, peroxidase, and other chemicals evoked luminescence with variable success in three Atlantic lanternfishes of the family Myctophidae: Benthosema glaciale, Myctophum punctatum, and Notoscopelus kroeyeri.

Ultrastructure and biochemistry of the pineal organ in deep-sea lanternfishes (Myctophidae)
Experientia, 1988Pineal structural and biochemical adaptations in lanternfishes included: 1) few photoreceptor outer segment discs; 2) conventional synapses between photoreceptors and pineal neurons; and 3) low levels (0-60 pg/pineal) of serotonin compared to those (greater than 1.0 ng/pineal) in the goldfish pineal organ.

Morphology of the pineal complex in seven species of lanternfishes (Pisces: Myctophidae)
American Journal of Anatomy, 1977AbstractThe morphology of the pineal complex was compared in seven species of lanternfishes (family Myctophidae) using both light and electron microscopes. On the basis of compactness of the pineal end‐vesicle and presence or absence of a dorsal sac, the species in this study were divided into two groups.

The olfactory epithelium of the lantern fish, Tarletonbeania crenularis (myctophidae)
Zeitschrift f�r Zellforschung und mikroskopische Anatomie, 1973The olfactory rosettes of Tarletonbeania crenularis are contained within paired membranous olfactory chambers opening to the exterior through a pair of nostrils. The margins of the anterior nostril form an infundibulum that may direct a current of water between the lamellae of the olfactory rosette and out of the posterior nostril as the fish swims ...

A review of the lanternfish genus Bolinichthys Paxton, 1972 (Myctophidae)
2009On the basis of data from 6,950 specimens, together with re-worked records from the collections of the world’s major research institutions and museums, the lanternfish genus Bolinichthys (family Myctophidae) is reviewed. A key to, and descriptions of the seven species comprising the genus are given.
