Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Anodontostoma chacunda was determined in this paper. The genome is 16,772 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 2 noncoding regions. With the exception of ND6 and eight tRNA genes, all other genes are encoded on the heavy strand. Gene organization is similar to that observed in most other vertebrates. Overall base compositions of mitogenome are 27.4% of A, 28.7% of C, 25.1% of T, and 18.8% of G. Phylogenetic analyses using the concatenated nucleotide sequence of 12 protein-coding genes on the heavy strand reveal that genus Anodontostoma is the sister group to the assemblage (Nematalosa, (Clupanodon, Konosirus)) within subfamily Dorosomatinae.
