| Summary: | Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2009 Annual Meeting Reducing disparities in eye disease and treatmetn, 3-7 may 2009, Fort Lauderdale, Florida Teleost outer retina show marked retinomotor movements (RMM) and synaptic plasticity. In light-adaptation, cone photoreceptors are contracted, its pedicles invaded by spinules from horizontal cell (HC) dendrites, and the HC size body reduced. Darkness induces the opposite changes. Triploid fishes are widely used in aquaculture. These fishes usually exhibit reduced aggressiveness, which is thought to be the consequence of reduced sex steroid plasma levels and lower number of cells in the central nervous system. The aim of this work is to compare RMM between diploid and triploid fishes Spanish Grants BFU2004-03727-C02-02 and 01/BFI and GV04B-5 Peer Reviewed
