Glowing Fish

  

Figure 1. This is a frame grab from a video uploaded by uzoouk in YouTube showing the glowing fish that originated in Taiwan in 2001. These fish are products of genetic engineering wherein fluorescent proteins from jellyfish were introduced into ordinary fish to make their organs easier to study.  The fluorescent proteins made not just the organs glow, but the entire fish itself, resulting in this extraordinary looking fish.
