Rearing history, distribution scheme, and experimental schedule of sea bass. Legend: In phase 1, the larvae were challenged at first feeding with deficient diets LH1 or HG1, compared to standard diet C1 (Table 4), and then reared in standard conditions. After tagging, some juveniles were transferred from the control group to two experimental tanks for a common garden test in cohabitation with other individuals submitted to nutritional deficiency in phase 1. In phase 2, the juveniles were challenged again for two months with diets LH2 or HG2, compared to C2 (Table 4), and then exposed to a final standardized hypoxic test, 24 h before sampling
