10. Why use bioluminescence? Warning to predators Camouflage Navigation Communication –Finding mates Attract prey –Angler fish

11. Camouflage Cookiecutter shark - Counterillumination. As this shark rises closer to the surface, it lights its underside so a predator looking up from beneath does not see its full silhouette. The shark “disappears”. http://www.sciencenews.org/sn_arc98/8_1_98/fob5.htm Widder
