The complete mitochondrial genome sequence and gene organization of Trematomus bernacchii (Perciformes: Nototheniidae) with phylogenetic consideration.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence was obtained from Trematomus bernacchii. The full length of mitogenome was 16 018 bp, including 20 transfer RNA genes, a 16S ribosomal RNA genes and an incomplete 12S rRNA, 12 protein-coding genes and an incomplete ND6 protein-coding gene, and 2 non-coding regions: control region (D-loop) and origin of light-strand (L-strand) replication (OL). Most genes were located on the heavy-strand (H-strand), while ND6 and seven tRNA genes were located on the L-strand. T. bernacchii's mitogenome was comprised of 24.52% for A, 25.44% for C, 20.38% for G and 29.66% for T, with a higher A + T content (54.18%). From the NJ phylogenetic tree, it revealed that T. bernacchii's was genetically closest to species Dissostichus elegi
