The light‐sensitive capacity of fish larvae is determined by the structure of the retina and the opsins expressed in the retinal and nonretinal photoreceptors. In this study, the retinal structure and expression of opsin genes during the early developmental stage ofTakifugu rubripeslarvae were investigated. Histological examination showed that at 1 days after hatching (dah), seven layers were observed in the retina ofT. rubripeslarva, including the pigment epithelial layer [retinal pigment epithelium layer (RPE)], photoreceptor layer (PRos/is), outer nuclear layer (ONL), outer plexiform layer (OPL), inner nuclear layer (INL), inner plexiform layer (IPL) and ganglion cell layer (GCL). At 2 dah, optic fibre layer (OFL) can be observed, and all eight layers were visible in the retina. By measuring the thickness of each layer, opposing developmental trends were found in the thickness of ONL, OPL, INL, IPL, GCL and OFL. The nuclear density of ONL, INL and GCL and the ratios of ONL/INL, ONL/GCL and INL/GCL were also measured and the ratio of ONL/GCL ranged from 1.9 at 2 dah to 3.4 at 8 dah and no significant difference was observed between the different developmental stages (P> 0.05). No significant difference was observed for the INL/GCL ratio between the different developmental stages, which ranged from 1.2 at 2 dah to 2.0 at 18 dah (P> 0.05). The results of quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) showed that the expression ofRH1,LWS,RH2‐1,RH2‐2,SWS2,rod opsin,opsin3andopsin5could be detected from 1 dah. These results suggest that the well‐developed retina and early expression of the opsins ofT. rubripesduring the period of transition from endogenous to mixed feeding might be critical for vision‐based survival skills during the early life stages after hatching.
