Glow-in-the-dark fish help combat pollution
Scientists from the University of Exeter have created a breed of glow-in-the-dark fish to learn more about how pollution affects humans and animals.
Genetically modified zebrafish have enabled researchers to track the damage of foreign chemicals in the body.
Once exposed to these pollutants, the fish's affected organs or tissue glow a luminous green.
