Claims43
A combination, comprising:
- a transgenic fish that expresses one or more components of a bioluminescent system;
- and
- a composition that includes one or more components of a bioluminescent system, wherein introducing the composition to the transgenic fish causes the transgenic fish to illuminate.
A transgenic fish that expresses at least one component of a bioluminescent system.
The transgenic fish of clam 22, wherein the transgenic fish is substantially translucent.
A fish food that includes one or more components of a bioluminescent generating system.
A transgenic fish egg that expresses one or more components of a bioluminescent system.
A method of making a transgenic fish emit illuminate, comprising:
- providing a transgenic fish that expresses one or more components of a bioluminescent system;
- and
- contacting the transgenic fish with a composition that comprises one or more components of a bioluminescent system, wherein contacting the transgenic fish with the composition causes the transgenic fish to illuminate.
A method of producing a transgenic fish, comprising:
- providing fish eggs;
- and
- transfecting the eggs with at least one luciferase or luciferin.
A method of producing a transgenic fish food, comprising:
- providing a fish food;
- and
- including in the fish food one or more components of a bioluminescent system.
