The velvet belly lantern shark (Etmopterus spinax) is a common deep-sea shark that has been used, in the recent years, as a model for experimental studies on physiological control of shark luminescence. These studies demonstrated that, unlike any other luminous organism, the luminescence of this shark was under a dual control of hormones and neurotransmitters (or neuromodulators). This paper, by making a short review of histological and pharmacological results from these studies, aims to propose a first model of luminescence control in E. spinax.
绒毛鲨（Etmopterus spinax）是一种常见的深海鲨鱼，近年来被用作鲨鱼发光生理控制实验研究的模型。这些研究表明，与任何其他发光生物不同，这种鲨鱼的发光受激素和神经递质（或神经调质）的双重控制。本文通过简要回顾这些研究的组织学和药理学结果，旨在提出绒毛鲨发光控制的首个模型。
