Abstract

In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of Redbelly yellowtail fusileer, Caesio cuning (Teleostei: Caesionidae), has been sequenced by the next-generation sequencing method. The assembled mitogenome, consisting of 16 508 bp, had the typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs genes and a non-coding control region of D-loop. D-loop contains 826 bp length that is located between tRNA-Pro and tRNA-Phe. The overall base composition of C. cuning is 28.1% for A, 31.1% for C, 16.3% for G and 24.4% for T. The complete mitogenome may provide essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis for Caesionidae.
