Abstract

Abstract: In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of yellow goosefish Lophius litulon ( L. litulon ) was determined. The genome was 16, 431 bp in length, and comprised 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA gene and 22 transfer RNA genes, with 2 main non-coding regions. Its gene order and composition was similar to most of the vertebrates. The overall base composition of L. litulon was 28.6% A; 29.1% C; 16.8% G; 25.5% T, with a slight AT bias of 54.1%. The origin of L-strand replication in L. litulon was located in a cluster of five tRNA genes (WANCY). Motif TCCGG was found in the origin of light strand replication (OL ) of L. litulon, which was common in other mitogenome of Lophiidae. This mitogenome data would play key role in future studying phylogenetic analysis of the Lophiidae.
