Abstract

Tachysurus vachellii are commercially important edible fish due to delicious taste, little bone in muscle, and high nutritional value especially in Asia. The complete mitochondrial genome of Tachysurus vachellii has been sequenced. The mitochondrial genome is 16,529 bp in length, with the base composition of 31.6% A, 26.6% T, 26.9% C, and 14.9% G, containing two ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a major non-coding control region (D-loop region). The gene order and orientation are similar with some typical fish species. The data will provide useful molecular information for phylogenetic studies concerning T. vachellii and its related species.

Keywords: Tachysurus vachellii; mitogenome; phylogenetic analysis.
