Tóm tắt

In this study, we determined light perception capability in juveniles and sub-adults of L. vannamei by means of electroretinogram (ERG) measurements. Eyes were assumed to be dark-adapted when the response magnitude had stabilized after 70–80 min under dark conditions. ERG responses elicited by mono-wavelength (336–694 nm) stimuli of equal intensity were determined in individual dark-adapted specimens. Relative spectral response curves determined from the amplitudes of on and off relative responses were found to be significantly different in juveniles and sub-adults. Both maximum on relative spectral response magnitudes were observed at 544 nm, but the on relative spectral response magnitudes of sub-adults to 518 nm were higher than for juveniles, and the on relative spectral response magnitudes of sub-adults to 568 nm were lower than for juveniles. The on and off relative spectral response curves of juveniles were steeper than those of sub-adults, while the on relative spectral response magnitude of juveniles was lower than that of sub-adults from 336 to 544 nm. The off relative spectral response magnitude of juveniles was higher than that of sub-adults from 518 to 597 nm.
