Complete mitochondrial genome of marine Petrale sole (Pleuronectiformes: Pleuronectidae) flatfish.

Petrale sole (Pleuronectiformes: Pleuronectidae) is a species of flounder, found in the northeastern Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea of the United States and Canada. The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of has 16,483 bp with an overall A + T content of 61% and consists of 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and a non-coding control region. It has incomplete stop codon genes in , , , , , and . Phylogenetic analysis indicated that is not monophyletic with cogeneric and is separated from other species in the same family by a large distance. Present study results provide useful data for further research on genetic diversity and evolution of the and the Pleuronectidae.
