Abstract:

The most relevant changes in Acipenser baeri eye organization were detected between hatching and 5 days post hatch. At this age, the eye had an anterior chamber, lens, iris, choroid gland, scleral cartilage, cornea and a vitreous chamber lined by the retina (with two photoreceptors: rods and single cones).
