The complete mitogenome of Sardinella zunasi was determined by next-generation sequencing. The S. zunasi mitogenome was a circular 16,307 bp molecule that contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and one control region (D-loop). The gene arrangement was consistent with other Sardinella mitogenomes. The phylogenetic relationships of 29 Clupeoidei species based on 13 protein-coding genes from the available mitogenomes were analyzed. Sardinella zunasi clustered with Sardinella among Clupeidae, suggesting a closer relationship with this genus. These results will be useful for understanding the phylogenetic relationships, taxonomic classification, and phylogeography of the genus Sardinella relative to other genera of Clupeoidei.

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Ilisha striatula is presented, and we also discussed its mitochondrial characteristics. The full length of the mitochondrial genome was 16,847 bp...

The Dotted Gizzard Shad (Konosirus punctatus) was one of the most important commercial fish species in China, Japan and Korea. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of K. punctatus was presented. The full length of the mitochondrial genome was 16,705 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNA genes, one non-coding control region (CR) and one origin of replication on the light-strand. The total nucleotide composition of mitochondrial DNA was 25.79%A, 25.09%T, 29.05%C, 20.08%G, and AT was 50.88%. The mitochondrial genome provides an important resource for solving taxonomic problems and studying molecular evolution.

Pacific sardine Sardinops sagax (Jenyns, 1842), a sardine species that widely distributes in Pacific, is an important commercial species in many areas. In this study, we characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of S. sagax using next generation sequencing technology. The complete mitogenome of S. sagax was 16,883 base pairs (bp) in length and comprised 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and one control region (D-loop). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that sardine species included three clades (I, II and III) and S. sagax clustered with Sardinops melanostictus.

The northern anchovy, Engraulis mordax, is a small planktivorous fish from the northeastern Pacific Ocean that is an important forage for fishes, birds, and marine mammals, and is also the target o...

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Engraulis ringens has been determined. The whole sequence is 16,690 bp in length and included the typical structure of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 2 non-coding regions (control region and L-strand replication origin). The overall base composition includes A 26.65%, T 26.09%, C 28.13%, G 19.13%, with a slightly A + T bias of 52.74%. Moreover, the 13 PCGs encode 3797 amino acids in total. The phylogenetic analysis of E. ringens in the Engraulidae family was constructed based on 12 PCGs encoded by the heavy strand, and the result showed that E. ringens is most closely related to Engraulis japonicus and Engraulis encrasicolus.

In this paper, the complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence of Thryssa kammalensis was determined. The mitochondrial genome is 16,884 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and a non-coding control region as those found in other vertebrates, with the gene identical to that of typical vertebrates. The overall base composition of the heavy strand is 31.07% A, 24.82% T, 28.33% C, and 15.78% G, with an AT bias of 55.89%. Phylogeny of T. kammalensis suggested more close relationship with Lycothrissa crocodilus and Setipinna taty. The complete mitogenome of this species can provide a basic data for the studies on population history, molecular systematics, phylogeography, stock evaluation, and conservation genetics.
