Figure 1. Schematic representation of the experimental set-up used to determine personality in Gilthead seabream Sparus aurata.

Daily feed intake recovery on isolated fish (n = 24), was recorded during 7 days. On day 8 and 9the same fish were submitted to novel object test and net restraining test, respectively. Each test was repeated twice (run 1 and run 2) with an interval between runs of 14 days. Individually-based tests were run first (both run 1 and 2) followed by the grouped-based tests.
