Tomopteris. In: Read, G.; Fauchald, K. (Ed.) (2015) World Polychaeta database. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at on 2016-04-09 浮蠶屬（學名：Tomopteris；新拉丁語，由希臘語字根 tomo 「切口」跟 pteris 「翅膀」或「魚鰭」 ）為海洋浮游的多毛綱生物浮蠶科的一個屬。 All described species are known to be holopelagic, meaning that they spend their entire life cycles in the water column. E. Newton Harvey had noted the unusual, yellow bioluminescence occurring from the parapodia. There are very few known marine animals that exhibit yellow luminescence. Many species of plankton are known to display this property of bioluminescence. The mechanisms of this process are not well understood; only that they do not use any of the currently known luciferins. If disturbed, a few species are known to release bioluminescent particles from their parapodia, though possibly all species of Tomopteris do this. It is thought that this mode is to distract predators, analogous to chaff or flares dispensed from military aircraft during evasive maneuvers. Generally they grow to only a few centimeters in overall length, or to in total length, though this is likely to reflect the size of those amenable to being caught in trawl nets.
