The complete female mitogenome of Potomida semirugata (Lamarck, 1819).

ABSTRACT: Freshwater mussels perform important ecological functions in ecosystems, such as water filtration and energy cycling. Unlike marine bivalves, freshwater mussels have unique characteristics including internal fertilization and parental care. Some freshwater mussels are facing a high risk of extinction due to several factors such as climate change and habitat loss. Potomida semirugata (Lamarck, 1819) is one of the freshwater mussel species with a high risk of extinction and listed as Endangered in the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Here, we present the first F-type mitogenome sequence of P. semirugata. The genome was sequenced on an Illumina high-throughput platform from a P. semirugata specimen collected from the Tersakan River (Turkey).
