Abstract

Abstract: Brachysomophis crocodilinus belongs to the family Ophichthidae, the complete mitochondrial genome of which was sequenced in this study. The mitochondrial genome of B. crocodilinus is of 17, 818 bp in length, with overall base composition of 32.11% A, 24.69% T, 16.22% G, and 26.98% C. The genome content includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 2 control regions. The result of phylogenetic analysis indicates that B. crocodilinus mitogenome is close to that of Ophisurus macrorhynchos, which are nested within the family Ophichthidae.
