Is it true that the crystal jellyfish Aequorea victoria produces light through bioluminescence?
Yes. A reference work states that aequorin, a bioluminescent protein, was extracted from Aequorea victoria while studying the photoproteins that cause bioluminescence in this species. Several other sources confirm that A. victoria carries fluorescent proteins such as GFP, which is related to but not identical with bioluminescence.
