Abstract:
The Coryphaenidae family comprises of single genus, Coryphaena, which includes two species: Coryphaena hippurus and Coryphaena equiselis. In this study, we described the complete mitochondrial genome of the two species in Coryphaena. The assembled mitogenome of C. hippurus and C. equiselis consists of 16731 bp and 16690 bp, respectively. Two mitogenomes contain the typical gene complement including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and a non-coding D-loop. The longest protein-coding genes of these species was ND5, whereas the shortest ATP8. The length of D-loop is 1168 bp (C. hippurus) and 1206 bp (C. equiselis).
