The complete mitochondrial genome of the Pampus nozawae (Perciformes: Stromateidae)

AbstractThe complete mitochondrial genome of the Pampus nozawae was presented in this study. The mitochondrial genome is 16,556 bp long and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a control region. The gene order and composition of Pampus nozawae mitochondrial genome was similar to that of most other vertebrates. The nucleotide compositions of the light strand are 30.01% of A, 27.51% of C, 27.29% of T and 15.18% of G. With the exception of the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 6 (ND6) and seven tRNA genes, all other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand.
