Many species of fish do this, in that the temperature will determine the sex of the eggs. Some fish species will also change sexes depending on environmental pressures. Unfortunately I don’t have sources on this for you at the moment.

Clownfish are one such fish. Another species is mentioned in the BBC Earth series, but I'm afraid I don't recall the name or even which episode.

certain swordtail population can do a female to male change later in their life.

medaka (oryzias latipes) have about a 100% male exclusive hatch rate at 34°, starting from 27° and going up from there.

on topic of swordtails, there is a related species (amazon molly) which is unique in that it is the only known stable all-female species, reason so far unknown afaik.

in case anyone wanted to google papers.
