Characterization of the mitogenome of (Pleuronectiformes: Cynoglossidae).

The complete mitogenome of the , was determined by Illumina MiSeq platform. The complete mitochondrial genome of was 16,519 bp in length. The mitochondrial genome of showed a cynoglosidae-characteristic gene organization, in which translocation of control region to the position between ND1 and tRNA-Gln gene, and also inversions in tRNA-Gln gene from L-strand position to H-strand position. Phylogenetic analysis showed that is most closely related to and , which supports the previous result that genus Cynoglossidae is evolutionary paraphyletic.
