Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of the peacock sole Pardachirus pavoninus was firstly determined in this study. It is 16,537 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and one control region with the typical gene order in vertebrates. There are 26 bp overlaps and 28 bp short intergenic spaces located in 7 and 11 gene junctions, respectively. The overall nucleotide composition of the L-strand is 29.1% A, 29.5% C, 16.4% G and 25.0% T. The 22 tRNAs range from 65 bp (tRNA-Cys) to 74 bp (tRNA-Val, tRNA-Leu1, tRNA-Lys and tRNA-Thr) in length. Two start codons (ATG and GTG) and two stop codons (AGG and TAA/T) were found in 13 protein-coding genes.
