The whole mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of (Stimpson, 1858) (Decapoda, portunidae).

The mitochondrial genome plays an important role in studies on phylogeography and population genetic diversity. Here we report the complete mitochondrial genome of (Stimpson, 1858) which is the first mitochondrial genome reported in genus by now. The mitogenome is 15,990 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and a putative control region. The phylogenetic analysis showed that was closest to genus . The present research should provide valuable information for phylogenetic analysis and classification of Portunidae.
