The complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic position of the Endangered red-spotted grouper Epinephelus akaara (Perciformes, Serranidae) collected in South Korea

The complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid grouper Epinephelus fuscoguttatus (♀) × E. polyphekadion (♂)

This study determined the complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid grouper Epinephelus fuscoguttatus ♀ × E. polyphekadion ♂. The complete mitochondrial genome is 16,648 bp and includes 13 protein-coding, 2 ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region (D-loop). The nucleotide composition of the L-strand was A 29.12%, C 28.33%, G 15.65%, and T 26.90%. All except the NADH dehydrogenase subunit (ND6) and eight tRNA genes are encoded on the H-strand.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid grouper Epinephelus lanceolatus (♀) × E. akaara (♂)

This study determined the complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid grouper Epinephelus lanceolatus ♀ × E. akaara ♂. The complete mitochondrial genome is 16,743 bp long and includes 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region. The nucleotide composition of the L-strand was as follows: A 20.00, C 14.10, G 29.21, and T 36.68%. All of the genes are encoded on the H-strand, except for NADH dehydrogenase subunit (ND6) and eight tRNA genes. A phylogenetic tree constructed using the maximum-likelihood (ML) method showed that the hybrid grouper E. lanceolatus ♀ × E. akaara ♂ is similar to E. lanceolatus.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid grouper Epinephelus lanceolatus (♀) × E. moara (♂)

The complete mitochondrial genome of the novel hybrid grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus ♀ and E. moara ♂) includes 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 1 control region (D-loop), for a total length of 16,743 bp. The overall nucleotide compositions encoded on the heavy strand are 29.73% A, 28.84% C, 15.08% G, and 26.64% T.
