Abstract

We characterized the complete mitogenome of Nemipterus randalli and performed comparative mitogenomic analysis with previously determined mitochondrial genomes belonging to the family Nemipteridae. Using Sanger sequencing, we identified a 16,642 bp mitogenome containing 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 2 rRNA, 22 tRNA) and a non-coding region. Its gene organization, nucleotide composition, tRNA secondary structure and codon usage are similar to other Nemipteridae mitogenomes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that Nemipteridae is a monophyletic group. The present study forms the basis for further studies on the population genetics, evolution and phylogeny of N. randalli and its family.
