The complete mitochondrial genome of black sea bass, Centropristis striata

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced from the marine teleost fish Black Sea Bass, Centropristis striata. The genome sequence is 16,986 bp in size and has a base composition of A (26.65%), T (26.44%), C (28.63%), and G (18.28%). The phylogenetic analysis showed that C. striata belongs to Serranidae family and is most closely related to Hypoplectrus. The complete mitochondrial genome sequences provided here was the first one in Centropristis, which would be useful for further understanding the evolution and conservation genetics of C. striata.
