Morphological and Immunohistochemical Study of Ventral Photophores of Ichthyococcus ovatus (Cocco, 1838) (Fam: Stomiidae) Open
Photophores are light-producing organs found in many fish species living in the mesopelagic, bathypelagic, and abyssal layers of the ocean. They function to attract prey, confuse predators, and communicate with other individuals of the sam…
