Abstract
A temporal, nocturnal sampling along Kavaratti lagoon was conducted in order to find organism(s) exhibiting bioluminescence and factors favoring the proliferation of same. Bioluminescence involves oxidation of luciferin in conjunction with luciferase enzyme. None of the phytoplankton species were found to be bioluminescent. Among the total zooplankton species encountered, only one ostracod crustacean Cypridina hilgendorfii was found to be bioluminescent. Low nutrient values (NO2< 4µmol L-1, NO3< 8.254µmol L-1, NH4 < 0.92 µmol L-1, Inorganic PO4
