Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent technological advances have facilitated the acquisition of mitochondrial genomes and their use to answer questions regarding the phylogenetic relationships of aquatic organisms. We seek manuscripts that utilize mitochondrial genomes to help support or refute phylogenetic hypotheses that require wider coverage than a handful of targeted loci might provide. The focus of these manuscripts can be methodological (e.g., data acquisition and phylogenetic analyses) or, more narrowly, applications of these sorts of data to interesting questions in aquatic biology. We ask that focused manuscripts outline a clear hypothesis supporting the rationale for the study, rather than the simple accumulation of mitochondrial genomes without adequate justification.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Fishes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
