The complete mitogenome of the Lepturacanthus savala (Perciformes: Trichiuridae) from the Yellow Sea.

ABSTRACT: Lepturacanthus savala is a commercially important marine fish belonging to the family Trichiuridae, with a wide distribution in the Indian-Western Pacific coastal waters. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of L. savala has been determined by primer walking methods. The mitogenome is 17,146 bp in length containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 21 transfer RNA genes, a control region, and an origin of light-chain replication region. The base composition is 28.9% for A, 29.0% for C, 15.7% for G, and 26.4% for T. The maximum-likelihood tree based on whole mitogenome showed that it is the closest related species of Trichiurus.
