Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of the Staghorn damselfish, Amblyglyphidodon curacao was determined by next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform. The circular mitochondrial genome of A. curacao (16,612 bp) encoded the 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 2 non-coding regions (origin of light strand replication (OL) and the control region (D-Loop)). All the tRNAs have typical clover-leaf structures except for tRNA-Ser. Phylogenetic analysis based on the currently reported mitochondrial genomes in Pomacentridae showed that A. curacao was most closely related to Amphiprion frenatus. The complete mitogenome sequence of A. curacao would provide essential genetic information of Pomacentrinae related to them for their scientific management in the coral-reef ecosystem in Indonesian waters.
