Sperm from mud loach (Misgurnus mizolepis) were electroporated in the presence of plasmid DNA, pRSV/luc or pMT/hGH over a range of field strength of 0-1,625 V/cm with capacitance from 0 to 1,000 ${mu}F$, and the effects of electroporation on fertilization, hatching, early survival, and efficiency of gene transfer were investigated. Average fertilization rate, hatching rate and early survival rate up to yolk sac absorption of all experimental groups were not significuntly different (P>0.05). The proportion of fish carrying pRSV/luc based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis was ranged from 0 to $20\%$, however, the values of gene transfer efficiency from the different eledctroporation conditions were not significantly different. PCR analysis of pMT/hGH transferred groups revealed that screening of pMT/hGH transferred fish by PCR was difficult because of significant nonspecific amplifications resulted from the homologous sequences in the genome of mud loach.
