Abstract

The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of Apogonichthyoides taeniatus (Cuvier, 1828) is determined. The mitochondrial genome is 17,050 in length and has the same composition and gene order like most other vertebrates. The phylogenetic analysis based on 13 concatenated PCGs nucleotide sequences among 20 species showed that this species has high support with the sister branch Jaydia lineata. Our findings provide useful information for phylogenetic and evolutionary research of Kurtiformes species.

Keywords: Apogonichthyoides taeniatus; genome; mitochondrial.
