Figure 2

Maximum-normalised excitation and emission spectra in T. delaisi (Y-axis in arbitrary units, ranging from minimum to maximum). Fluorescence peaks at 600 nm (red line). Excitation is most efficient between 500 and 570 nm (green line). The excitation spectrum overlaps strongly with the ambient light spectrum (taken at noon on a sunny day in July at STARESO, Calvi, Corsica, in -10 m depth (black, thin line). Excitation and emission were measured using a spectrofluorometer (QuantaMaster QM-40, Photomed, Germany).
