The popularity of the Vivarium exploded when Osamu Shimomura received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2008, thanks to the studies he led on Aequorea victoria, a jelly that contains a green fluorescent protein, with two American scientists: Martin Chalfie of Columbia University and Roger Tsien of the University of California-San Diego.{{cite web | title=The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2008 | url=http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/2008/press.html | publisher=The Official Web Site of the Nobel Foundation | accessdate=2008-11-04}}{{Cite web

With the light emission of the Aequorea victoria exhibited at the Kamo Aquarium

Osamu Shimomura won the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. It was also reported that the Green Fluorescent Protein that was the reason for the award was derived from Aequorea victoria. This attracted attention to the museum, which breeds Aequorea victoria, and the number of visitors to the museum increased to 1.5 to 2 times the normal number. [9] The adult jellyfish bred in the museum emit light when they are collected from the natural world, but they do not emit light when the generations are changed by artificial propagation. Upon hearing this, Shimomura called the museum directly on October 24, 2008, and advised that "if you mix coelenterazine with food, it will shine in two weeks." Then, with the introduction of Shimomura, he took over coelenterazine from Katsunori Teranishi, a professor at the Graduate School of Bioresources, Mie University, and worked on a luminescence experiment.{{Cite web |url=http://www.kahoku.co.jp/news/2008/10/20081026t55029.htm |title=ノーベル賞の下村です 鶴岡・加茂水族館に電話 |publisher=河北新報 |date=2008-10-26|accessdate=2008-10-26|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081026192530/http://www.kahoku.co.jp/news/2008/10/20081026t55029.htm|archivedate=2008-10-26}}
