  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sex determination is the first step toward the establishment of phenotypic sex in most vertebrates. Aquatic poikilotherms such as teleost fishes exhibit a high diversity of sex-determination mechanisms and gonadal phenotypes that are remarkably plastic and responsive to a variety of environmental factors (e.g., water temperature, pH, salinity,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;photoperiod&lt;span&gt;, population density). This chapter reviews current knowledge of genotypic and&amp;nbsp;environmental sex determination&amp;nbsp;systems in fishes with special reference to Atheriniformes—one of the best-characterized taxa in this field—and offers perspectives to guide and stimulate further research.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
