Abstract:
Complete mitochondrial genomes of two Pleuronectid species, Clidoderma asperrimum and Verasper variegatus (Teleostei: Pleuronectiformes: Pleuronectidae) were analysed using the primer walking method. Their mitogenomes were 17,632 and 17,273 bp in total length, respectively and comprised 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. Their gene contents and orders were similar to those of typical vertebrates. All Pleuronectid species were subdivided into three clades in the phylogenetic tree, and the two Pleuronectid species analysed in this study formed a strong monophyletic group comprising species belonging to three genera, Hippoglossus, Reinhardtius, and Verasper.
