Table 3. Results of artificial insemination of eggs derived from pure pejerrey mothers with sperm from three surrogate Patagonian pejerrey fathers (#1∼3; transplanted with pejerrey donor germ cells) and a control pure pejerrey father.

Father Time after GCT (months) Number of eggs (n) Fertilization rate (n; %) Hatching rate (n; %) Donor-derived germline transmission rate (n; %)

11 140 131(93.5) 122(93.1) 30(24.6)*

Donor-derived germline transmission rates for each surrogate father were determined at 7 and 11 months after GCT; asterisks after the donor-derived germline transmission rate for 11 months indicate significant difference (Fisher's exact test) from the rate for the same father at 7 months. NA: not applicable
