Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) and the phylogenetic location of the Palaemonetes sinensis. The mitogenome was 15,736 bp in length, containing 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosome RNA genes (rRNAs), and a control region (CR). The overall nucleotide composition is as follows: A, 35.69%; C, 21.66%; G, 12.39%; T, 30.26%. Nine and four PCGs were encoded on the heavy and light strands, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that P. sinensis shares a close relationship with Palaemon serenus and Palaemon capensis. These findings are helpful for better understanding the phylogenetic relationship among Caridea, as well as investigating the population genetics of P. sinensis in the future.
