Flyingfishes are epipelagic specialists that are easily distinguished by their enlarged fins, which are used for gliding leaps over the surface of the water. In this study, we described the complete mitochondrial genome of . The genome is 16,527 bp in length, encoding the standard set of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes and two rRNA genes, with circular organization. The overall base composition of the whole mitochondrial genome was A (28.86%), T (26.96%), G (16.66%) and C (27.52%) with an AT bias of 55.82%. The ATG initiation codon is used in all protein-coding genes except , and the stop codons of all the 13 protein-coding genes were complete.
飞鱼是上层水域的特化物种,很容易通过其增大的鳍来区分,这些鳍用于在水面上进行滑翔跳跃。在本研究中,我们描述了……的完整线粒体基因组。该基因组长度为16,527 bp,以环状组织形式编码一套标准的13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA基因和两个rRNA基因。整个线粒体基因组的总体碱基组成为A(28.86%)、T(26.96%)、G(16.66%)和C(27.52%),AT偏倚为55.82%。除……外,所有蛋白质编码基因均使用ATG起始密码子,并且所有13个蛋白质编码基因的终止密码子都是完整的。
