Abstract:
In this study, the complete mitochondrial DNA genome sequence of Rastrelliger kanagurta has been determined. The mitogenome was 16,537 bp in length. It consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 non-coding regions. The A+T content of the mitochondrial genome of R. kanagurta was 52.29%, and the content was 26.92% for A, 30.67% for C, 17.03% for G, and 25.37% for T. The complete mitogenome of R. kanagurta can provide an important data for the studies on molecular systematics, species identification, stock evaluation, conservation genetics, and evolutionary adaptation mechanisms.
