We determined the competence of heterologous recombinant gonadotropins (GTHs) at eliciting steroid secretion from carp ovaries at diferent reproductive stages. All GTHs tested stimulated steroid secretion. However, the response differed according to the type of GTH and the developmental stage of the ovary. These results may contribute to understanding the mechanisms that determine differential activation of steroid secretion and specificity in fish.
