      Lots and lots

      There are about 10 to the power of 16 molecules in a cell and then multiple cells in the fishes eye so LOTS!

      Lots and lots. Are you interested in any molecule in particular? There are sugars and lipids and proteins and all sorts of stuff in there.

      Lots and lots, but I don’t have a fishes eye or the time to try and count them sadly – maybe one of the bio-sciences people can give you a more sensible answer?
