Phylogenetic classification of bony fishes

The phylogenetic classification of bony fishes is a phylogenetic classification of bony fishes and is based on phylogenies inferred using molecular and genomic data for nearly 2000 fishes.^[1]^[2]^[3] The first version was published in 2013 and resolved 66 orders.^[2] The latest version (version 4) was published in 2017 and recognised 72 orders and 79 suborders.^[3]
