Abstract
Retinal growth in young Sebastes diploproa involved the succession of 3 distinct cone patterns. Development of the final pattern with the loss of single cones occurred in close temporal association with a permanent migration from the surface to deep water. Apparently loss of single cones depends upon the change in environment, and the loss occurs through fusion to double elements.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
