Glow in the dark water creatures
Every spring people gather at the beach in Japan’s Toyama Bay to see the water light up with the luminous firefly squid.
“While firefly squid are found throughout the Japan Sea area, they normally reside at depths of 200 to 600 meters beneath the water. It is only at Toyama that the firefly squid rise to the surface in large numbers relatively close to the coast, producing a spectacle quite unlike anything else in the world. The sea area stretching from the mouth of the Joganji river in Toyama city down to the fishing port of Uozu, known as Hotaru Ika Gunyu Kaimen in Japanese, has accordingly been declared a designated natural monument by the national government.”
