Abstract

In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of the Symphysodon aequifasciatus has been sequenced by next-generation sequencing method. The mitogenome consists of 16 545 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs and 2 ribosomal RNAs genes. The overall base composition of the fish is 28.8% for A, 30.1% for C, 15.0% for G, and 26.1% for T, suggesting a 99% identity to S. discus Heckel and a 98% identity to S. haraldi. It provides essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogeography and evolutionary analysis for Symphysodon phylogeny.

Keywords: Mitogenome; next-generation sequencing, Symphysodon aequifasciatus.
