Abstract

Mitochondrial genome is maternal inheritance that provides higher resolution in taxonomic and phylogenetic research. The absence of complete mitogenome becomes an obstacle to further research. Here, we reported the complete mitogenome of Liparis tanakae Gilbert & Burke, 1912 (Perciformes: Cottioidei: Liparidae), which has a length of 17,860 bp. It comprised 39 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 23 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and 1 control region (D-loop). The 23 tRNAs in this mitogenome included two tRNA-Ala genes on the light strand. Maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analysis based on 14 available mitogenomes of 10 species in suborder Cottioidei confirmed L. tanakae as monophyletic with other snailfishes. This study would provide important genetic resources and could be useful for evolutionary analysis.
