Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the brownstripe red snapper, Lutjanus vitta was determined by MiSeq sequencing platform. The mitogenome of L. vitta (16,498 bp) encoded the typical 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and two non-coding regions (origin of light strand replication; OL and D-Loop control region; CR). Phylogenetic analysis based on the full mitochondrial genome sequences showed that L. vitta is most closely related to L. russellii. The complete mitogenome sequence of L. vitta would provide the information of the genetic biodiversity in Lutjanus fishes, which would be further used for their scientific management in Indonesian waters.
