Abstract
Individual carp (Cyprinus carpio) raised from zygotes that were microinjected with two different carp a-actin promoters fused to the chinook salmon GH cDNA gene. Twenty five individual fish, out of 200 males and females, were shown to contain the constructs in a mosaic fashion at sexual maturity, and some of them were crossed with each other as well as with non-transgenic carp.
The level of transgene transmittance from the transgenic parents varied between individuals. We observed 32%-87% inheritance when transgenic parents were crossed and 0%-50% inheritance when transgenic parents were mated with non-transgenics.
