Many biological and environmental aspects are involved in growth and development, including internal and external parameters and their interactions. In this mini-review, the relationship between environmental conditions and growth is described, as well as the hormones involved in growth and sex differentiation in the European eel, Anguilla anguilla. A model is proposed which describes the relationship between growth, sex hormones, environment and sex determination. Some important results that support the proposed model are presented.
