Lumpfish use their vision to hunt prey or, in the case of aquaculture, to see and eat pelleted diets. A common anterior ocular opacity abnormality designated in the literature as “cataract” described in both farmed and wild lumpfish has not yet been characterized in detail at the pathobiological level. We describe here lens tissue changes associated with cataract in cultured and domesticated lumpfish. Methodology included gros...

We systematically analysed the characteristics of the Cyclopterus lumpus eye and retina during cultured post‐hatch developmental stages using gross observations, histology, immunohistochemistry, microscopy, fundus imaging and spectral domain optical coherence tomography retinal imaging. Post‐hatch developing cultured C. lumpus eye and retinal tissues share a number of features typically conserved in other teleost fish. However...
