Yakamoz = The Noctilucales are a peculiar order of marine dinoflagellates. These cells are very large, from 1 to 2 millimetres in diameter, and are filled with large buoyant vacuoles. The most common species is Noctiluca scintillans, also called N. miliaris. It is usually bioluminescent when disturbed, as are various other dinoflagellates, and large blooms can sometimes be seen as flickering lights on the ocean.
