Abstract

The mitochondrial genome of skipjack tuna, Katsuwonus pelamis, was obtained by using HiSeq next-generation sequencing technique. The circular mitogenome is 16,515 bp in length, with the gene number and arrangement being similar to those observed in other teleost fish. Overall base composition is A 28.49%, T 24.58%, C 30.27% and G 16.66%, respectively. Among 13 protein-coding genes, seven of which share the complete stop codon TAA while others terminate with TA or T, all these genes use ATG as start codon except for COI.
