Popis:	Simple Summary In this work, for the first time, we studied some aspects of the development of the visual system of the annual killifish (Nothobranchius guentheri) in the embryonic and postembryonic periods. The morphoanatomical features of the eye during the growth and maturation of the fish are determined. In addition, the normal histological structure of the main elements of the eye is studied. Age-related changes in the elemental composition of the lens of the eye have been studied. The data obtained make it possible to assert the important role of the visual system for the survival of fish in shallow ephemeral pools. In such environmental conditions, the efficacy of the visual system is a factor in survival and evolution. Abstract In this, work some aspects of the development of the visual system of Nothobranchius guentheri at the main stages of ontogenesis were described for the first time. It was possible to establish that the formation of the visual system occurs similarly to other representatives of the order Cyprinodontiformes, but significantly differs in terms of the individual stages of embryogenesis due to the presence of diapause. In the postembryonic period, there is a further increase in the size of the fish’s eyes and head, to the proportions characteristic of adult fish. The histological structure of the eye in adult N. guentheri practically does not differ from most teleost fish living in the same environmental conditions. The study of the structure of the retina showed the heterogeneity of the thickness of the temporal and nasal areas, which indicates the predominant role of peripheral vision. Morphoanatomical measurements of the body and eyes of N. guentheri showed that their correlation was conservative. This indicates an important role of the visual system for the survival of fish in natural conditions, both for the young and adults. In individuals of the older age group, a decrease in the amount of sodium (Na) and an increase in magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) were found in the eye lens. Such changes in the elemental composition of the lens can be a sign of the initial stage of cataractogenesis and disturbances in the metabolism of lens fibers as a result of aging. This allows us to propose N. guentheri as a model for studying the structure, formation, and aging of the visual and nervous systems.
