Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome of Lucioperca lucioperca was cloned and sequenced in this study, which contained 16,542 bp. Results showed that the sequence was made up of 13 proteins, 22 transfer RNAs and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. The control region and the origin of the light strand replication were similar to other vertebrates. All protein-coding genes began with ATG except for COX1 and COX2, the COX1 genes started with ATC and COX2 genes started with ATT, while all of those ended with TAA, TA, T or TAG. The result could be used in related studies such as molecular ecology and evolutionary biology.
