Want to know how to capture a Giant Squid on video?
Some people use worms to attract fish. Others use intricately painted lures or feathery flies.To get the catch of a lifetime, marine biologist Edith Widder built a bioluminescent sphere that mimics the frenzied pinwheel display of a panicked jellyfish.Her soccer-ball-sized creation enticed a giant squid to swim near waiting undersea cameras…While other scientists used noisy submersible vehicles in their attempts to film the giant squid, Widder deployed Medusa — a system she co-invented that combines a highly sensitive camera and a “far red” light source with an especially long wavelength that is invisible to most sea creatures, which can see only greens and blues.
via Giant squid video resulted from biologists invented lure – latimes.com.
A great idea, and probably inspired by nature: “A type of dragonfish called loosejaws, use bioluminescence to search for prey. Loosejaws have adapted to emit red light; most fish can only see blue light, so the loosejaws have an enormous advantage when they light up a surrounding area. They can see their prey, but their prey cant see them.” (http://education.nationalgeographic.com/education/encyclopedia/bioluminescence/?ar_a=1)
