Abstract
Pristicon trimaculatus is a tropical reef-associated marine fish belonging to the family Apogonidae. Herein, we report the first sequencing and assembly of the complete mitochondrial genome of P. trimaculatus. The complete mitochondrial genome is 16,512 bp length and has the typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a control region. Phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial genomes of nine species showed that P. trimaculatus formed a monophyletic group with other Apogonidae species. This mitochondrial genome provides potentially important resources for addressing taxonomic issues of the Kurtiformes.
