Each group of embryos was injected with cultured cells on different days.
Injected embryos that survived to sexual maturity.
Survivors were bred with GASSI fish and germ-line chimeras were identified by the production of neo+ pigmented F1 fish.
Number of neo+ pigmented F1 fish produced by each germ-line chimera/total number of embryos produced.
Number of neo+ pigmented F2 fish produced by breeding positive sibling fish from the F1 generation/total number of embryos produced.
