The complete mitogenome of Paralonchurus dumerilii (Perciformes: Sciaenidae)

Abstract

We herein describe the complete mitochondrial genome of Paralonchurus dumerilii (Sciaenidae) and infer its phylogenetic position within the family. The genome is 16,498 bp long and featured by 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and a control region (D-loop). Our phylogenetic analysis suggests a basal position of P. dumerilii as the sister group of the other species of Sciaenidae analyzed.
