Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Pacific sand lance Ammodytes hexapterus was determined. The entire sequence is 16,527 bp in length assembling 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs and 13 protein-coding genes as well as the putative control region and OL. The gene arrangement and component are identical to those of canonical vertebrate mitochondrial genomes. The length of 16S rRNA and the repetitive times of termination-associated sequence in control region could be a useful marker for the distinction of A. hexapterus and A. personatus.
