Glowing fish!!!!???!!?!?!??!?!?

Sarah, over at Avogadro's salad, mentioned that scientist have discovered that some species of fish can glow in the dark. Like what??? How does that even happen???? Scientists were originally made to detect environmental pollutants. They added a  florescent gene to the fish to make them glow. And since then they have become very popular.They emit light after a certain type of radiation this relates to chemistry because it talks about light and how it is emitted from a fish.

    Glow fish don't "glow in the dark." The fluorescent blue light gives them the appearance that they glow in the dark because of their neon color and transparent bodies.
