Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid of Takifugu obscurus (♀) × Takifugu rubripes (♂) was sequenced and characterized in this study. The hybrid mitochondrial DNA, with a total length of 16,443 bp, contain 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs genes, and 2 rRNA gene. There are two noncoding regions: the origin of light-strand replication (OL) and control region (D-loop). The complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid of T. obscurus (♀) × T. rubripes (♂) provides data for studies on genetic diversity and species identification among Takifugu.
