Table 3: Summary of ANOVA examining variations in plasma biochemical parameters (TP—total proteins; CREA—creatinine; CHOL—cholesterol; NEFA—non-esterified fatty acids; GLU—glucose; AST—aspartate aminotransferase; ALP—alkaline phosphatase; GGT—gamma glutamyl transferase; LDH—lactate dehydrogenase; CK—creatine kinase; GPx—glutathione peroxidase; SOD—superoxide dismutase) between seasons for _Scorpena porcus_ (SS—sum of squares; df—degrees of freedom; MS—mean square). Figure 1: Mean values (\(\pm\)confidence intervals 95%) of plasma biochemical parameters: (**a**) CHOL—cholesterol; (**b**) NEFA—non-esterified fatty acids; (**c**) GLU—glucose; (**d**) AST—aspartate aminotransferase; (**e**) ALP—alkaline phosphatase; (**f**) SOD—superoxide dismutase (all displayed values are log(x + 1) transformed) of _Scorpaena percus_ that varied significantly throughout the seasons (whiskers denote \(+/-\) standard deviations). Spearman rank correlation of fish length and plasma chemistry was conducted separately for each season (Table 4).
