Vibrio fischeri
is a common marine organism and can routinely be isolated from fresh fish.
Under optimum growth conditions, it is a very brightly glowing species,
and is about half as bright as luciferin light sticks. Fish which
has been decomposing for several days often acquires a greenish glow, which
explains the glow-in-the dark fish fingers which have been reported in
student fridges!
