Abstract

Brama dussumieri is one of the members of the family Bramidae and is widely distributed in the North Pacific Ocean. In this study, we described the complete mitochondrial genome of B. dussumieri. The genome is 16,996bp in length, encoding the standard set of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes, with circular organization. The overall base composition of the whole mitochondrial genome was A (26.21%), T (25.65%), G (16.83%) and C (31.31%) with an AT bias of 51.86%. The ATG initiation codons are used in all protein-coding genes except COX1, and the stop codons of all the 13 protein-coding genes were complete.
