In this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome of Scapharca kagoshimensis (Bivalvia: Arcidae) was determined. It is 46,713 in length, which contains 12 protein-coding genes (lacking of atp8), 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 42 transfer RNA genes and two ultra-long non-coding regions. The mitogenome of S. kagoshimensis is composed of 28.3% A, 34.5% T, 20.6% G and 16.6% C, showing a slight AT bias of 62.8. In addition, some peculiar patterns, like AT-rich, tandem repeats elements, are found in the largest non-coding region of S. kagoshimensis.
本文测定了魁蚶（双壳纲：蚶科）的完整线粒体基因组。其长度为46,713，包含12个蛋白质编码基因（缺少atp8）、2个核糖体RNA基因、42个转运RNA基因和两个超长非编码区。魁蚶的线粒体基因组由28.3%的A、34.5%的T、20.6%的G和16.6%的C组成，显示出62.8的轻微AT偏向性。此外，在魁蚶最大的非编码区发现了一些特殊模式，如富含AT、串联重复元件。
