Abstract
Solea ovata (Pleuronectiformes: Soleidae) is characterized by eyes on right side and an ovata body with small ctenoid scales on both sides. In this article, the complete mitogenome of Solea ovata was first determined. The total length is 16,782 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes (12S and 16S), as well as a putative control region and a L-strand replication origin (OL). Except eight tRNA and ND6 genes, all other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand. Overall base composition is 29.2% A, 29.4% C, 15.9% G, and 25.5% T with a slight AT bias of 54.7%. The determination of S. ovata complete mitogenome could contribute to understanding the systematic evolution of the genus Solea and further phylogenetic study on Soleidae and Pleuronectiformes.
