Whole genome sequencing yields the complete mitogenome of Pandalus borealis, an indicator species of the Arctic ecosystem

Abstract

Pandalus borealis is an important indicator species to study the state of the Arctic ecosystem. The mitochondrial genome of P. borealis is 15,956 bp in length and encodes 13 protein-coding genes. The phylogenetic tree of eleven shrimps revealed that P. borealis belonged to Pandalidae family and was closely related to C. crassicornis. This mitogenome will be of significance to study the Arctic ecosystem state and perform the resource protection of this species.
