Venus clams (Veneridae) including are commercially important fishery resources by their dominance in local benthic communities. However, despite their great diversity, the phylogenetic and taxonomic relationships in venus clams remain poorly understood. In this study, we report the first complete mitochondrial genome of . The mitogenome has 17,532 base pairs (67.9% A + T content) and is made up of a total of 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNAs and 2 ribosomal RNAs), plus a putative control region. This study will provide useful molecular resources for clarifying taxonomic and phylogenetic confusion in venus clams.
帘蛤科包括的金星蛤是当地底栖生物群落中的优势物种，具有重要的商业渔业资源价值。然而，尽管金星蛤种类繁多，但其系统发育和分类关系仍知之甚少。在本研究中，我们报告了首个[金星蛤物种名称]的完整线粒体基因组。该线粒体基因组有17,532个碱基对（A+T含量为67.9%），总共由37个基因组成（13个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA和2个核糖体RNA），外加一个假定的控制区。本研究将为厘清金星蛤的分类和系统发育混乱提供有用的分子资源。
