Complete Mitochondrial Genome of <i>Niphon spinosus</i> (Perciformes: Niphonidae): Genome Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis.

ABSTRACT: The species Niphon spinosus (Cuvier, 1829) is the only representative of the family Niphonidae and the genus Niphon, and its taxonomic history is complicated; it is still unclear in a phylogenetic sense. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of N. spinosus (OP391482), which was determined to be 16,503 bp long with biased A + T contents (53.8%) using next-generation technology. The typical set of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and one control region (D-loop) are included in the mitochondrial genome. The H-strand encoded 28 genes (14 tRNA, 2 rRNA, and 12 PCGs), and D-loop, whereas the L-strand encoded the remaining 9 genes (8 tRNA and ND6). Its nucleotide composition, gene arrangement, codon usage patterns, and tR
