Average (± SEM) plasma cortisol (ng/ml) levels in cod before and following a 3 hour heat-shock (transfer from 10°C to 18°C). Plasma cortisol levels in undisturbed control (C), control transferred (CT) and heat-shocked (HS) groups are shown before heat-shock (BHS), at the cessation of heat-shock (CS) and 3 h after the cessation of heat-shock (3ACS), 12 h after the cessation of heat-shock (12ACS) and 24 h after the cessation of heat-shock (24ACS). Different letters indicate significant differences between sampling points within the same group (p < 0.05). * indicates a significant difference between groups within a sampling point (p < 0.05). Cortisol levels in the C group did not change significantly during the experiment.
