The penguin tetra (Thayeria boehlkei) is one of the most popular aquarium fish and belongs to the family of Characidae. The composition, phylogeny, and classification of this family are uncertain. Here, the complete mitogenome of T. boehlkei was reported to be 16,524 bp in length. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. Comparing the mitochondrial genome of T. boehlkei with its congener Astyanax mexicanus revealed high-sequence similarity. The mitochondrial genome of T. boehlkei will contribute to conservation studies and evolution analysis of Characidae family.
企鹅灯鱼(Thayeria boehlkei)是最受欢迎的观赏鱼之一,属于脂鲤科。该科的组成、系统发育和分类尚不确定。在此,报道了企鹅灯鱼的完整线粒体基因组,长度为16,524 bp。它包含13个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA基因和2个核糖体RNA基因。将企鹅灯鱼的线粒体基因组与其同属的墨西哥丽脂鲤进行比较,发现序列相似度很高。企鹅灯鱼的线粒体基因组将有助于脂鲤科的保护研究和进化分析。
