Abstract:
Liparis ochotensis is a snailfish commonly confused with similar fish species because of unclear morphological characteristics. Moreover, molecular genetic studies have not been conducted for snailfish in Korea. Here, we report the complete mitogenome sequence of L. ochotensis, obtained via long PCR using universal primers for the fish mitogenome. The L. ochotensis mitogenome is 17,522 bp long, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and one control region. A neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on CO1 sequences depicted a close relationship with Liparis gibbus. The complete mitogenome is a valuable resource to classify and conserve L. ochotensis.
