9:37Now PlayingThe velvet belly lanternshark is only about one foot long, but it's hiding something huge: a complex system of bioluminescence. Scientists have seen velvet bellies glow in a lab, but this shark has never been observed lighting up in the wild. In fact, none of the bioluminescent shark species have been filmed glowing at depth in the ocean.
Evolutionary biologist Nicolas Straube from the University of Bergen came aboard OceanXplorer to try and change that. In the right place (Sognefjord, where the sharks are abundant) and with the right equipment (OceanX's state-of-the-art submersibles and cameras) could he be the first to film this amazing feature of deep-sea sharks?

Thank you @TeamORCA1 for the bioluminescence archival footage.
