Dataset of the complete mitogenome of the deep-sea sailfin roughshark, Oxynotus paradoxus Frade, 1929.

ABSTRACT: Chondrichthyans comprise a diverse group of vertebrate species with extraordinary ecological relevance. Yet, multiple members of this evolutionary lineage are associated with significant extinction risk. The sailfin roughshark Oxynotus paradoxus is a deep-water benthic shark currently listed as vulnerable due to population declines in parts of its range. Here we provide the first complete mitochondrial genome of O. paradoxus, comprising also the first record for the genus and family Oxynotidae. These data can facilitate future monitoring of the genetic diversity in this and related species. Genomic DNA was extracted from O. paradoxus collected in the eastern North Atlantic off western Portugal (37.59°N, 9.51°W) and sent for Illumina Paired-End (2 × 150 bp) library cons
