Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of the Epinephelus fuscoguttatus was presented in this study. The mitochondrial genome is 16,648 bp long and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a control region. The gene order and the composition of E. fuscoguttatus mitochondrial genome were similar to that of most other vertebrates. The nucleotide compositions of the light strand are 26.91% of A, 15.58% of C, 29.19% of T, and 28.32% of G. With the exception of the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 6 (ND6) and eight tRNA genes, all other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand.
