Complete mitogenome of the cutlassfish Trichiurus haumela (Scombriformes: Trichiuridae) from Ningde, Fujian province, Southeast China

摘要

The cutlassfish, Trichiurus haumela (Scombriformes: Trichiuridae), is well adapted to benthopelagic life with high commercial value in the world. In this study, mitogenome of this species was assembled with high coverage using Illumina sequencing data and the 16,855?bp length was acquired. The base composition is 28.75% for A, 29.33% for C, 16.14% for G, and 25.78% for T. The mitogenome includes 13 protein-coding genes, 21 transfer RNA, and two ribosomal RNA genes. The phylogeny showed that it is closely related to Trichiurus japonicus with high bootstrap value supported. The complete mitogenome of T. haumela can provide essential DNA molecular data for further phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis.
