The complete mitochondrial genome of Scylla paramamosain (Decapoda: Portunidae).

ABSTRACT: The mud crab Scylla paramamosain (Decapoda:Portunidae) is a commercially important crustacean species in China, which is broadly distributed along the southeastern coastal regions of China. In previous studies, the population from Beibu Bay showed distinct genetic lineage. Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of S. paramamosain from Beibu Bay. The mitogenome has 15,816 base pairs and made up of total of 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNAs and 2 ribosomal RNAs), and a putative control region. The complete mitogenome in the Beibu Bay population was shorter than that in the Shenzhen population, because the non-coding region between tRNA-Glu and tRNA-His was shorter in the former, and there were 59 mutations sites between these two populations.
