Weight and standard length of sea bass reared at constant temperatures during the thermosensitive period of development. (a) Larvae of 15 days post fertilization (dpf) reared at 15 °C (n = 10), 17 °C (n = 10) and 19 °C (n = 10). (b) Juveniles of 60 dpf reared at 17 °C (n = 20) or 21 °C (n = 20) from 20 to 60 dpf. Statistical differences were calculated by the Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test for the 0–15 dpf period and the Wilcoxon rank sum test for the 20–60 dpf period and are shown for each stage with the following equivalence: ***p ≤ 0.001, ns = not significant.
