Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of Lepidotrigla alata was sequenced in this study. The genome sequence is 16,512 bp in length, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and one control region. Overall base composition is 26.46% A, 25.05% T, 17.22% G, and 31.27% C. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that L. alata was close to L. guentheri and L. microptera, and each genus in the family Triglidae was monophyletic. This study can provide valuable information for future evolutionary studies on L. alata and Triglidae.
