Abstract:
The axillary seabream (Pagellus acarne, Risso 1827) belongs to the Sparidae family, order Perciformes. This high-valued commercial fish species is distributed along the northern and eastern Atlantic coasts from Norway to Senegal, and throughout the Mediterranean Sea. Its complete mitochondrial genome is 16,486 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 2 non-coding regions (D-loop, 808 bp and L-origin, 29 bp). Its overall base composition is A: 26,8%, C: 29,0%, G: 17.6%, and T: 26.6%.
