Vibrio harveyi is a species of marine bioluminescent vibrio species almost ecologically identical to Vibrio fischeri.

Vibrio fischeri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (490 words)
Vibrio fischeri is a rod-shaped bacterium found globally in the marine environments.
Free-living vibrios in the ocean waters inoculate the light organs of juvenile squid and fish.
The bioluminescence has also been shown to be proportionally related to both protection against ultraviolet radiation damage to genes and the pathogenicity of bioluminescent vibrios.
