Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of marbled rockfish Sebastiscus marmoratus collected from Japan was determined by next-generation sequencing. The mitogenome is a circular molecule 17,301 bp in length, including the typical structure of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a control region. The ETAS, central CSB and CSB were detected in the control region. The gene contents of the mitogenome are identical to those observed in most bony fishes.
