Violin plots showing the distributions of plasma cortisol (ng/ml), glucose (mg/dl) and lactate (mg/dl) levels of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) submitted to different chronic stressors (a – overcrowding, b – net handling, c – hypoxia), in two intensities, and unstressed fish (control) (n = 18). The box-plot inside includes observations from the 25th to the 75th percentiles as determined by R software; the horizontal line indicates the median value. Whiskers extend 1.5 times the interquartile range. Single data points are outlying data. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; **** P < 0.0001. NS (not significant) indicates a P-value greater than 0.05
