Abstract

Abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of Lagocephalus guentheri was reported in the present study, which was 16, 461 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 27.54% for A, 24.80% for T, 31.23% for C and 16.43% for G. The phylogenetic tree, which is based on 12 protein-coding gene sequences, suggested that L. guentheri was closest to L. spadiceus . This study could give impetus to studies focused on population structure and molecular evolution of L. guentheri .
