Statistical tests (Mann–Whitney U test) at the level of the individual between E2 (no mark) and E3 (sham mark), between E2 and E5 (coloured mark), and between E3 and E5. P values, with the U statistic in parentheses, are reported. P values < 0.05 are in bold.
*Time in E2 > time in E3 in fish #1, but E2 < E3 in fish #7.
