Abstract
IN January 1957, three months after the official inauguration of the Aquarium of Nouméa which my wife and I established in New Caledonia, we obtained the first effects of fluorescence through irradiation with ultra-violet rays of deep-water corals. The different specimens treated had been collected in the lagoon at a depth of 35–40 m., about twenty miles from our station where they are kept alive.
