The speed of an isolume: a shrimp's eye view

Using data from electroretinogram recordings, we designed a submersible light meter with a spectral luminous efficiency comparable to that of a vertically migrating shrimp. Using this light meter on the "Johnson Sea Link" submersible, we were able to ascend with the isolumes (preferred lig...

Zusammenfassung:	Using data from electroretinogram recordings, we designed a submersible light meter with a spectral luminous efficiency comparable to that of a vertically migrating shrimp. Using this light meter on the "Johnson Sea Link" submersible, we were able to ascend with the isolumes (preferred light levels) associated with the sergestid and euphausiid shrimp layers.
