The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Pelates quadrilineatus (Perciformes: Terapontidae).

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome of marine fish Pelates quadrilineatus was sequenced by the high throughput sequencing method. This genome was 16,823 bp in length, consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and one large non-coding region. The gene arrangement of P. quadrilineatus is identical to those of other fishes. Phylogenetic tree based on 13 protein coding genes shows that Terapontidae has a closer phylogenetic relationship to Pentacerotidae than to Chaetodontidae.
