Retinomotor response in the larvae of brown-marbled grouper, Epinephelus fuscoguttatus by Mukai, Yukinori, Leong, Seng Lim, Saad, Shahbudin

“…The 27–28 d old larvae had rod cells in the retinae and showed weak retinomotor response—the retinal pigment layer was slightly thinner at light intensity <1 lx than at 10–100 lx. The retinae of 42–45 d old grouper showed a clear retinomotor response at 0.1 lx, becoming stronger at 1 lx and higher; 0.1 - 1 lx may be considered the threshold of visual sensitivity of E. fuscoguttatus. …”
