  Flashlight fish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The family Anomalopidae is in the order Beryciformes, the sawbellies.
The true flashlightfish, of the family Anomalopidae, have a luminous organ beneath the eyes; lanternfish have lights along their bodies.
The light, which is red in colour and called bioluminescence, is generated by bacteria that live in special pouches.

Flashlight fishes (family Anomalopidae) have light organs that contain luminous bacterial symbionts.
Although the symbionts have not yet been successfully cultured, the luciferase genes have been cloned directly from the light organ of the Caribbean species, Kryptophanaron alfredi.
The hybridization results, sequence comparisons and the mol% G + C of the Kryptophanaron alfredi symbiont luxA gene suggest that the symbiont may be considered as a new species of luminous Vibrio related to Vibrio harveyi.
