Abstract

Abstract: We determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Moolgarda perusii, which is 16, 781 bp in length, and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and a complete control region. The total base composition of the mitogenome is 28.7% T, 27.0% C, 28.5% A, and 15.9% G. Of the 13 PCGs, 11 PCGs start with an ATG codon. Eight PCGs use TAA/TAG/AGA as the termination codon, whereas five PCGs have incomplete stop codon TA/T. This study would be useful for further studying population genetics and understanding the phylogenetic relationship of the family Mugilidae.
