Abstract

Abstract: The two-spot swimming crab Charybdis bimaculata (Miers, 1886 ) is an important decapod species in the benthic ecosystem of Korean waters. In this study, we determined its complete mitochondrial genome by the combination of NGS analysis using MiSeq platform and PCR-based cloning method. The circular mitochondrial genome of C. bimaculata was 15, 714 bp in length in which the standard set of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes were encoded. Phylogenic analysis showed that C.bimaculata is most closely related to Charybdis feriata . The complete mitogenome sequence information of C. bimaculata would provide useful data for the conservation of their population in the Pacific ocean.
