NEWPORT, Ore., Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Oregon experts said the glow-in-the-dark effect some consumers have been reporting in their shrimp is likely the result of non-harmful marine bacteria.
Kaety Hildenbrand of Oregon State University's Sea Grant Extension said many consumers have been calling with concerns about pink shrimp purchased on the coast or in large stores glowing in the dark, The (Eugene) Register-Guard reported Wednesday.
Hildenbrand said several types of non-harmful marine bacteria can cause seafood to appear luminescent. UPI
