The complete mitochondrial genome of Chilean Jack Mackerel, Trachurus murphyi Nichols, 1920 (Teleostei, Carangidae).

ABSTRACT: The Chilean jack mackerel (Trachurus murphyi, Nichols, 1920) is a pelagic fish of high fishery interest, with a global capture of 828,358 mt in 2021. We report the complete mitochondrial genome of T. murphyi (Teleostei, Carangidae), collected in Bahia de Zapallar, Chile (32°33'02.59'' S, 71°27'55.38'' W). The size of the mitogenome is 16,561 bp (H-strand composition: 25.9% A, 16.7% C, 29.8% G, and 27.5% T). The mitogenome has the classic vertebrate gene content of 13 protein-coding, two rRNA, and 22 tRNA genes, as found in Carangidae and other Teleostei families. Phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial genomes of 22 related species revealed that T. murphyi formed a well-supported monophyletic group with the other Trachurus species, being T. simmetricus
