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.
