This is the first report on the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of South African (Euphrasén, 1791) and its phylogenetic placement within the Gempylidae family. The complete mitogenome of snoek is 16,494 bp in length and comprises 2 rRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, and one control region. Gene order is similar to that found in gempylids and other marine fishes. Reconstruction of Gempylidae phylogeny implies that the mitogenomes of snoek, black snoek , and snake mackerel, are closely related in evolutionary terms.
这是关于南非竹筴鱼（Euphrasén，1791）完整线粒体基因组（线粒体基因组）及其在蛇鲭科内系统发育位置的首次报告。竹筴鱼的完整线粒体基因组长度为16,494 bp，包含2个rRNA、13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA和一个控制区。基因排列顺序与在蛇鲭科鱼类和其他海洋鱼类中发现的相似。蛇鲭科系统发育重建表明，从进化角度来看，竹筴鱼、黑竹筴鱼和蛇鲭的线粒体基因组密切相关。
