The first complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Plesiopidae (Teleostei: Perciformes) was determined using the Eastern hulafish Trachinops taeniatus as a representative species of the family. The mitogenome was 16,821 bp in length, including 13 typical vertebrate protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 1 control region. The gene arrangement was similar to other fishes except for the reversal position of tRNA(Ala) and tRNA(Asn). The overall base composition was 27.4% for A, 27.5% for C, 27.4% for T and 17.7% for G. This mitogenome should contribute to resolving phylogenetic position of Plesiopidae.
以东方胡拉鱼Trachinops taeniatus作为隆头鱼科的代表性物种,测定了该科(硬骨鱼纲:鲈形目)首个完整的线粒体基因组(线粒体基因组)。该线粒体基因组长度为16,821 bp,包括13个典型的脊椎动物蛋白质编码基因、22个转移RNA基因、2个核糖体RNA基因和1个控制区。除了tRNA(Ala)和tRNA(Asn)的位置颠倒外,基因排列与其他鱼类相似。总体碱基组成为A占27.4%、C占27.5%、T占27.4%、G占17.7%。该线粒体基因组应有助于解决隆头鱼科的系统发育位置。
