The changes of the biophysical characteristics of light-emission in ontogenesis of ctenophore Beroe ovata Mayer, 1912 recent introducer to the Black Sea has been researched. It is established, that bioluminescent amplitude of larvae was eight times higher, and energy of light-emission seven times more, than similar parameters of the bioluminescence in eggs of ctenophores. Amplitude and energy of light-emission of quite recently caught ctenophore (in control) were some orders more than similar pa
