Abstract
Stethojulis strigiventer is a tropical reef-associated marine fish belonging to the family Labridae. Herein, we report the first sequencing and assembly of the complete mitochondrial genome of S. strigiventer. The complete mitochondrial genome is 16,524 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 11 species showed that Stethojulis strigiventer is clustered together with the genus Parajulis and Halichoeres and rooted with other Labridae species. This mitochondrial genome provides potentially important resources for addressing taxonomic issues of the Labriformes and studying conservation genetics.
