摘要

Abstract

The retinal structure and visual acuity in Japanese flounderParalichthys olivaceus at different stages of development were examined by light microscopy. The resolving power of the retina

the visual axis and the best visual field were estimated based on the distribution of cone cells in the retina. The visual system of the larvae appears poorly developed at hatching. The larvae with total length (TL) of less than 10 mm

have single cones only and the eyes were well pigmented. At 10–11 mm TL

most single cones fused to form double cones

with the single and double cones forming a mosaic pattern. From larvae to early juvenile the retina stretches

the cones increase in diameter and rods increase in number. Based on the highest density of the cones in the ventro-temporal region

the visual axis was orientated upforward. The resolving power of the retina in 40–530 mm TL Japanese flounder was found to range from 25.1 to 11.5 min. The results indicated continual improvements in the visual system of the growing fish towards higher resolving power

visual acuity and sensitivity.
