I think there should be a minimum info on wikipedia on the term ''bioluminescsnt plankton'', as scientific researches are heavily growing in the genre. There may be some mistakes that i have added. I don't care if my write up is kept or not, but can somebody add this topic in a proper way? (as my one is reverted)
Bioluminescent plankton are often found in various parts of the ocean, mostly in the surface waters mostly.
These planktons e.g. Dinoflagellates play a significant role in marine ecosystems. When a predator disturbs the water where these plankton are present, they emit light, creating a burst of luminous blue or green color. This sudden flash of light can startle predators and potentially reveal the presence of the predator to other larger creatures nearby.
Additionally, bioluminescent plankton can attract smaller organisms towards them. Many animals are drawn to the light, assuming it to be a potential source of food. This can lead to an interesting interplay of interactions in the ocean's food web.
