Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the dragonet Callionymus curvicornis (Perciformes: Callionymoidei: Callionymidae)

Abstract

We determined the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of the dragonet Callionymus curvicornis. The total length of C. curvicornis mitogenome is 16,406 bp, which consists of 13 protein–coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 1 control region. It has the typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement. This is the first report of a complete mitochondrial genome in the fish suborder Callionymoidei.
