Abstract

Abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of Lagocephalus gloveri is reported in the present study, which is 16, 446 bp in length. It consists of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a non-coding control region. The overall base composition of the genome is 27.58% for A, 25.07% for T, 30.83% for C and 16.52% for G. The phylogenetic tree, which is based on 12 protein coding gene sequences, suggested that L. gloveri was closest to L. lagocephalus . This study could give impetus to studies focused on population structure and molecular evolution of L. gloveri .
