Ecology
Planktonic A. fischeri are found in very low quantities (almost undetectable) in almost all oceans of the world, preferentially found in temperate and subtropical waters. These free-living A. fischeri subsist on organics within the water. They are found in higher concentrations in symbiosis with certain deep sea life within special light organs; or as part of the normal enteral (gut) microbiota of marine animals.
