Ontogenetic eye development and related behavioural changes in larvae and juveniles of barramundi Lates calcarifer (Bloch)

Larvae and juveniles of barramundi Lates calcarifer (Bloch) were examined for the development of the retina, occurrence of the retinomotor response and retinal tapetum and change in eye size with age in days. The barramundi hatched with unpigmented non-functional eyes in which retinal cells had not...
