The spotted scat, Scatophagus argus (Perciformes, Scatophagidae), is a recreational and commercial fish in China. In this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome of S. argus was firstly determined. It is 16,783 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 1 control region. Except for the eight tRNA and ND6 genes, all other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand. The mitochondrial DNA information would be useful in species identification and natural resources conservation.
点带棘鲷，又称金钱鱼（鲈形目，金钱鱼科），是中国一种兼具游钓价值和商业价值的鱼类。本文首次测定了点带棘鲷的线粒体全基因组序列。其长度为16783 bp，由13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA基因、2个rRNA基因和1个控制区组成。除了8个tRNA基因和ND6基因外，所有其他线粒体基因都在重链上编码。线粒体DNA信息将有助于物种鉴定和自然资源保护。
