This is a little abstract, but applicable to NA freshwater fishes. My lab group has just published a large-scale DNA-based phylogeny that samples all lineages of ray-finned fishes, or Actinopterygii. Of course, we used as many North American freshwater species as possible!
For the real fish phylogeny nerds, this is based entirely on nuclear gene sequence data. There is no mitochondrial DNA data in this analysis.
Also, Yale University press office wrote a release and I will paste a link to the story.

Happy Fish Studying!
