Abstract

The complete mitogenome of the oblong rockfish Sebastes oblongus was constructed using next-generation sequencing. The full genome was 16,396 bp in length, including two rRNA, 22 tRNA, one control region and 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs). The genome consisted of 28.0% A, 26.4% T, 16.9% G and 28.6% C, showing a slight AT bias (54.4%). All PCGs contained an ATG start codon, excluding COX1 that contained a GTG. All PCGs contained the stop codon TAA, excluding ND3 (TAG stop codon) and Cytb (incomplete termination codon, T). All tRNAs contained the typical clover leaf structure, except for two tRNAs, serine (AGY) and threonine, which lacked the DHU arm. The complete mitogenome of S. oblongus will contribute to genetic analysis of the effective population size for aquaculture.
