Table 4.
Nest fidelity (proportion of time spent with nesting female) during paired competitive breeding trials of mature male parr that were growth hormone transgenic and nontransgenic. The first (A) and second (B) spawns from each trial were analysed for the period 52.5–12.5 min before the spawn (prespawn), 12.5 min on either side of the spawn (spawn), and 12.5–22.5 after the spawn (postspawn)
