Studies on steroidogenic cells producing key enzymes during sex differentiation are relevant for eel conservation and sustainable stock management. The enzymes cytochrome P450 side-chain cleavage (P450scc), 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) and aromatase (CYP450) play a key role in steroi...
