Fish 'steals' glowing protein: Genome sequencing proves unique survival strategy

In a striking example of nature's ingenuity, a collaborative research team has revealed that a bioluminescent fish glows not by producing its own light-emitting molecules, but by "stealing" them from its prey. Details of the findings were published in Scientific Reports.
