Abstract

Abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Benthosema pterotum is first described in this article. The total length of mitogenome is 18, 052 bp. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes. The overall base composition of H-strand is 27.83% A, 30.88% C, 25.61% T, and 15.69% G, with an A＋T bias of 53.43%. The phylogenetic analysis result showed that the B. pterotum and Electrona carlsbergi were close relationship.
