Behavioural Fever as a Reflection of the Body Temperature. Time Spent by Fish in Each of the Different Temperature Chambers is a Reflection of Their Body Temperature. A Single Fish Was Introduced to the 29°C Chamber, and the Time Spent in Each of the Temperature Chambers Was Measured. Results are Shown as Mean±SD for Each Group of Fish. # P<0.0001 When Compared to the Normal Control While * P<0.0001 When Compared to the Disease Control
