Structure comparison of control region in Stromateoidei and complete mitochondrial genome of the bluefin driftfish Psenes pellucidus (Perciformes, Nomeidae)

Abstract In the present study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the bluefin driftfish Psenes pellucidus was determined first. The genome was 16,572 bp in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 2 main non-coding regions. The mitochondrial genome of bluefin driftfish had common features about gene arrangement, base composition and tRNA structures compared with those of most of the bony fishes. In the control region, a termination-associated sequence, the central conserved block (CSB-F, CSB-E and CSB-D) and the conserved sequence blocks (CSB-1, CSB-2 and CSB-3) were determined. Meanwhile, the conserved motif 5′-GCCGG-3′ was identified in the origin of light strand replication of bluefin driftfish. This mitogenome sequence data would play key role in phylogenetic analysis of Stromateoidei.
