The complete mitochondrial genome of a euphausiid species: Pseudeuphausia sinica (Euphausiacea: Euphausiidae)

Abstract

We describe the mitogenome sequence of Pseudeuphausia sinica collected in the adjacent waters of the Yangtze River Estuary. The assembled mitogenome is 16,192 bp in length and consists 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer-RNA genes, 2 ribosomal-RNA genes, and 1 non-coding region. The most common start codon for 13 PCGs is ATG and the most common termination codon is TAA. The overall G + C content was only 28.26% in the heavy strand. The result of phylogenetic analysis showed that the relationship of P. sinica was close to the species in the same order.
