About: Swima

An Entity of Type: animal, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Swima is a genus of polychaete worm that lives in the deep ocean. This deep ocean pelagic (free-swimming) annelid has modified bioluminescent gills that can be cast off from an individual. These discarded gills somewhat resemble green "bombs" that remain illuminated for several seconds after they have been discarded. It is thought that this is a defensive mechanism rather than reproductive, as it is seen in both mature and juvenile individuals. Animals of the genus Swima are closely related to the recently discovered genus Teuthidodrilus, another pelagic cirratuliform of the bathyal zone.
