		We expected that the transplanted graft would have developed as if it were a part its original environment. This implies that the gill would have been specified prior to transplantation. Upon transplantation, inductive effects would allow the transplanted graft to eventually form the gill. There are two reasons why we might not have examined any of our expected results. The first is the possibility that the gill organ field had not been specified prior to transplantation, which did not allow it to develop properly when it was transplanted into the recipients. The second reason is due to technology. This was a very complicated experiment that required skilled microsurgery on embryos. Since this was a first attempt at microsurgery, our technique and technology might have been insufficient which caused poor results to be obtained. (Click here for pictures)
