Abstract

<abstract> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Through primer walking method, the mitochondrial genome sequence of white croaker (<italic>Pennahia argentata</italic>) from Japanese coastal water was obtained in this study. The mitogenome length of Japanese white croaker was 16, 486 bp. The genome contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes, a control region (CR) and a dominating non-coding region. The termination-associated sequence, the central conserved domain, and the conserved sequence blocks were identified in the control region. The origin of L-strand replication was located in a cluster of five tRNA genes between tRNA-Asn and tRNA-Cys.</p> </abstract>
