Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic relationship of ornate threadfin bream, (Perciformes, Nemipteridae).

The complete mitochondrial genome of the ornate threadfin bream, , was first determined by the pairs-walking sequencing in this study. The circular mtDNA molecule was 17,115 bp in size and the overall nucleotide composition of H-stand was A (29.55%), T (27.36%), G (16.08%), and C (27.01%), with a slight bias towards A + T. The complete mitogenome encoded 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 2 non-coding regions (an origin of L-strand replication and a control region). The Bayesian tree supported the phylogenetic position of , which provided useful information for phylogenetic relationship in genus .
