The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of snake mackerels Paradiplospinus antarcticus (Scombroidei, Gempylidae)

For the first time, we illuminate the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of theParadiplospinus antarcticus,which is 16,988 bp in size and contains 13 protein-coding (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and one control region.The base composition of the mitogenome is 26.08% A, 26.77% T, 28.46% C and 18.69% G. Here, we selected 11 genera of species from the mostly monotypic snake mackerel family, including representative AntarcticParadiplospinus antarcticusthat have been identified, and constructed phylogenetic trees to better study the snake mackerel family.
