MS data by TL, MY and HY.xlsx

In order to understand whether the personality are heritable in animals, we used gynogenetic technique to obtain offspring from bold and shy parents, as BO and SO. At first we compared the adaptability of BO and SO larvaes under extreme environmental challenges. Secondly, feeding behavior test were used to identify the personality of individuals of BO and SO juveniles and divided into bold, middle and shy individuals (BI, MI and SI), and percentage of BI, MI and SI from BO (BB, BM and BS) and SO (SB, SM and SS) were calculated. Subsequently, the oxygen metabolic rates and anti-predation stress response were measured among BB, BS, SB and SS. All experimental protocols were approved by the Animal
Ethics Committee of Shanghai Ocean University (Shanghai, China) and obeyed with
the Guidelines on Ethical Treatment of Experimental Animals established by the
Ministry of Science and Technology, China.
