	abstract = {We examined the effect of temperature in European silver eels during their maturation induced by injections of carp pituitary extract on endocrine parameters: pituitary fsh beta and lh beta expression, plasma 17 beta-estradiol (E2) and vitellogenin, estrogen receptor 1 (esr1), and vitellogenin 2 (vtg2) expression in liver. A variable thermal regime (T10) that increased from 10 degrees to 14 degrees and 17 degrees C was compared with a constant 20 degrees C regime (T20) during 12 weeks. T10 caused a faster development until week 8, higher fsh beta, lh beta, esr1 expression, and higher E2 levels. The results strongly suggest that T10 is inducing a higher endogenous FSH level which increases the E2 circulating level during vitellogenesis. A variable thermal regime induced an fsh beta expression and E2 profile in vitellogenic hormonally matured eel females that were more similar to the profile observed in other naturally maturing fish.
