Parapriacanthus
''Parapriacanthus'' is a genus of sweepers native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. ''Parapriacanthus'' are bioluminescent, with ventral light organs for counter-illumination. ''Parapriacanthus'' luciferase is a kleptoprotein, obtained from their diet on bioluminescent ostracods. Species There are currently 11 recognized species in this genus: * ''Parapriacanthus argenteus'' (Cecil von Bonde, von Bonde, 1923) * ''Parapriacanthus darros'' John Ernest Randall, J. E. Randall & Sergey Vasilievich Bogorodsky, Bogorodsky, 2016 * ''Parapriacanthus dispar'' (Albert William Herre, Herre, 1935) (Deep bullseye) * ''Parapriacanthus elongatus'' (Allan Riverstone McCulloch, McCulloch, 1911) (Slender bullseye) * ''Parapriacanthus guentheri'' (Carl Benjamin Klunzinger, Klunzinger, 1871) * ''Parapriacanthus kwazulu'' John Ernest Randall, J.

Kleptoprotein
A kleptoprotein is a protein which is not encoded in the genome of the organism which uses it, but instead is obtained through diet from a prey organism. Importantly, a kleptoprotein must maintain its function and be mostly or entirely undigested, drawing a distinction from proteins that are digested for nutrition, which become destroyed and non-functional in the process. This phenomenon was first reported in the bioluminescent fish ''Parapriacanthus'', which has specialized light organs adapted towards counter-illumination, but obtains the luciferase enzyme within these organs from bioluminescent ostracods, including '' Cypridina noctiluca'' or ''Vargula hilgendorfii''. See also * Kleptoplasty Kleptoplasty or kleptoplastidy is a symbiosis, symbiotic phenomenon whereby plastids, notably chloroplasts from algae, are sequestered by host organisms. The word is derived from ''Kleptes'' (κλέπτης) which is Greek language, Greek for thie ... References {{biology-stub Bio ...
