Abstract

<abstract> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of <italic>Sicyopterus japonicus</italic> (Perciformes, Gobiidae). This mitochondrial genome consists of 16, 514 base pairs (bp), with 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 1 non-coding control region (CR), also with the gene synteny identical to that of typical vertebrates. CR, of 843 bp in length, is located between tRNA^{<italic>Pro</italic>} and tRNA^{<italic>Phe</italic>}. The overall base composition of the heavy strand shows T 26.1%, C 28.7%, A 28.3%, and G 16.91%, with a slight AT bias of 54.4%.</p> </abstract>
