The complete mitochondrial genome of a Pabdah catfish, Ompok pabda (Hamilton, 1822)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Pabdah catfish, Ompok pabda (Hamilton, 1822) was determined by MiSeq platform. The genome was 16,512 bp in length, in which canonical 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and a control region (D-Loop) were encoded. The overall A + T (55.10%) content was higher than G + C (44.90%). Total nine genes were located at the L strand, and remaining 28 genes were at the H strand. The start codon of 12 protein-coding genes was ATG, except for COX1 (GTG). Incomplete stop codon (TA−/T–) was identified in six genes including COXII, COXIII, ND2, ND3, ND4, and Cytb. The mitogenome of O. pabda showed highest sequence identity with O. bimaculatus (86%).
