Comparative Analysis of Complete Mitogenomes of Two Oxyurichthys Gobies and Their Phylogenetic Implication.

ABSTRACT: Oxyurichthys is a genus of goby that is widespread in the tropical Indo-West Pacific region. Oxyurichthys species are usually found in estuarine and coastal marine habitats. In Southeast Asia, they are commercial fishes and often collected by trawling to serve the market's demand. The mitogenome serves as a good marker for investigating the systematics and evolution of fishes, but the mitogenome of Oxyurichthys species remains unknown. In this study, mitogenomes of two Oxyurichthys gobies, O. ophthalmonema and O. microlepis, were characterized and compared. The sizes of the mitogenomes were 16,504 bp and 16,506 bp for O. ophthalmonema and O. microlepis, respectively. Mitogenomes of these two species were similar in gene content and st
