Abstract:

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Lophius litulon was sequenced and assembled by next-generation sequencing techniques. The complete mitochondrial genome of Lophius litulon contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. The total length of the mitochondrial genome of L. litulon was 16,430 bp, and the overall base composition of the mitochondrial genome was 26.96% A, 30.13% C, 17.58% G and 25.33% T. Our sequence is consistent with the mitogenome (NCBI accession number AP004413) named Lophiomus setigerus, indicating that the latter might be a misidentification. Phylogenetic analysis based on PCGs suggested that genus Lophius was more closely related to Lophiodes than Antennatus.
