Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of a marine fish Siganus sutor was completely sequenced by the high throughput sequencing method. This complete mitochondrial genome was 16,497 bp in length, consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and one large non-coding region. The gene arrangement of S. sutor is identical to those in typical fishes. Phylogenetic tree based on 13 protein-coding genes shows that Siganidae has a closer phylogenetic relationship to Luvaridae than to Ephippidae or Scatophagidae.
