Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of shrimp Saron marmoratus was obtained and characterized in this study. This complete mitochondrial genome is 16,330 bp in size and comprises 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. Fourteen genes were encoded by light strand and another 23 genes were encoded by heavy strand. The A + T content of the heavy-strand was 67.89%. Most PCGs had ATN as the start codon except ND4 initiated with GAT. Eleven PCGs terminated with a complete stop codon TAN, but two PCGs (ND5 and Cytb) had an incomplete stop codon. The phylogenetic analysis suggested that Hippolytidae shrimp may be considered as the polyphyletic taxon. These results are useful for understanding the phylogenetic relationships and evolution of Hippolytidae shrimp.
Highlights
The complete mitochondrial genome of shrimp Saron marmoratus was obtained and characterized in this study
Marbled shrimps are in high demand and good priced in the marine aquarium trade
S. marmoratus spreads over the whole Indo-West-Pacific region and lives in caves, between rocks, and on coral reefs, near low depth coastal areas and in coastal ponds, between green algae (Sheibani-Tezerjiand and Sari 2007)
Summary
The complete mitochondrial genome of shrimp Saron marmoratus was obtained and characterized in this study. KEYWORDS Saron marmoratus; mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic analysis; Hippolytidae Hippolytidae contains species of considerable economic interest in the Western Indian Ocean (Josileen 2013). Saron marmoratus (Olivier 1811), commonly known as the marbled shrimp, is a species of shrimp in the family Hippolytidae. The mitochondrial genome is an effective tool for species identification, molecular taxonomy, and phylogenetic analyses (Galtier et al 2009).
