Abstract:
Here, we present the complete mitochondrial genome of the sakura shrimp, Sergia lucens (Crustacea, Decapoda, Sergestidae). The circular genome is 16,087 base pairs in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes. The nucleotide composition of the S. lucens mitogenome is biased towards A + T (69.9%). The gene arrangement was identical to penaeid shrimps. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis using the nucleotide sequences of 13 protein-coding genes placed S. lucens next to Acetes chinensis, supporting the conventional taxonomic relationship of Sergia and Acetes.
