Abstract
This study determined the complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid grouper Epinephelus fuscoguttatus ♀ × E. polyphekadion ♂. The complete mitochondrial genome is 16,648 bp and includes 13 protein-coding, 2 ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region (D-loop). The nucleotide composition of the L-strand was A 29.12%, C 28.33%, G 15.65%, and T 26.90%. All except the NADH dehydrogenase subunit (ND6) and eight tRNA genes are encoded on the H-strand.
