DeepFin Tree The goal of DeepFin is to establish the tree of all fishes. The tree pages of DeepFin will provide a fair consensus of our current phylogenetic knowledge, and all members are encouraged to participate in the construction of this tree. The format will follow the design and editorial structure developed by The Tree of Life Web Project. The current tolweb tree for Actinopterygii is shown temporarily as an example. |

Please note: The tree on this page is printed in a lighter color to indicate that it should be interpreted with caution because it has been taken from the literature with little critical evaluation by Tree of Life authors, editors, or peer-reviewers. Once the page has been revised by an expert, its status will be upgraded, and the tree will be shown in black. |
| Tree based on review by Nelson (1994). This initial treatment does not include several poorly-known extinct actinopterygians that will be added to the Tree of Life as expert contributors are located. Containing group: Gnathostomata |
