Abstract

In the present study, the complete mitogenome of the hybrid of Siniperca scherzeri (♀) × Siniperca chuatsi (♂) is determined to be 16,504 bp long and showed a typical vertebrate pattern with 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a control region. The base composition of heave strand in descending order is C (29.61%), A (28.31%), T (25.61%) and G (16.47%), with a slight AT bias of 53.92%. All the protein-coding genes are initiated by typical ATG codon, except for COX1 gene with the initiation codon GTG. Nine genes end with the complete stop codon TAA or TAG, while the COX1, COX2, ND4 and CYTB genes terminate with an incomplete stop codon T. The complete mitogenome of the hybrid of S. scherzeri (♀) × S. chuatsi (♂) could provide an important data set for the study in mitochondrial inheritance mechanism.

Keywords: Hybrid of Siniperca scherzeri (♀) × Siniperca chuatsi (♂); PCR; mitogenome.
