Abstract
Our purpose is to report a procedure using readily available ophthalmoscope equipment to examine, record, and photograph the fundus of a variety of marine animals. The dogfish, skate, squid, toadfish, sea robin, scup, and sea bass were examined by direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy. The ease and difficulty of funduscopy and photography were recorded, as were descriptions of the intraocular morphology. Eyes of dogfish and toadfish were the easiest to examine, but acceptable photography and examinations were accomplished on the sea bass, scup, and sea robin. The squid eye was easily examined but was photographed in only a limited fashion. A very limited examination was done on the skate, but no photography was accomplished. The value of such intraocular funduscopy and photography is that it permits serial examination and documentation of time-related changes in the living eye. This would permit rapid screening of the ocular fundi of several marine animals and allow quick selection of eyes for histopathological analysis.
