Abstract
Epinephelus akaara ♀ × Epinephelus tukula ♂ is an economically important fish. The mitochondrial genome of the hybrid grouper had a double-stranded DNA molecule with the length of 16,928 bp and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region. The gene composition of the hybrid grouper mitochondrial genome was similar to that of most other vertebrates. Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis by maximum-likelihood (ML) method, based on the nucleotide sequences of 13 protein-coding genes, showed that the hybrid grouper has the closer relationship to Epinephelus akaara and confirmed that the mitochondrial genome is maternally inherited.
