The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Siniperca undulate (Perciformes: Percichthyidae)

Abstract

In this paper, the complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence of Siniperca undulate was determined. The complete mtDNA genome sequence of S. undulate was 16,504 bp in length. It consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 2 non-coding regions. Overall base composition of mitogenome was estimated to be 28.38% for A, 29.43% for C, 16.46% for G and 25.73% for T, respectively, with a high A + T content (54.11%). The complete mitogenome of the S. undulate can provide a basic data for the studies on population history, molecular systematics, phylogeography, stock evaluation and conservation genetics. It is also helpful to the reasonable utilization and development of rational management strategies for S. undulate resource.
