The complete mitochondrial genome of the blue runner, Caranx crysos (Mitchill, 1815) (Teleostei: Carangidae).

ABSTRACT: Caranx crysos was collected from offshore of Sierra Leone and its complete mitochondrial genome was determined using next-generation sequencing (NGS). The circular mitogenome encoded a typical 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA), and 22 tRNA genes. An unusual start codon (GTG) was identified for the COX1 gene, and incomplete stop codons (T-/TA-) were found in seven genes, including ND2, ND3, ND4, COX2, COX3, ATP6, and CytB. All tRNAs were predicted to fold into the typical clover-leaf structures, except for tRNA^Ser-GCT, which lacks the D-arm. C. crysos formed a monoclade with the tree other species belonging to the genus Caranx, apart from th
