Abstract

In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of the iridescent blue-green damselfish, Chromis viridis (Perciformes, Pomacentridae), widely distributed species in the Indo-Pacific regions. The complete mitogenome of C. viridis was 16,894 bp long and was typical of Pomacentrinae mitogenomes in genomic content and structure, as the entire mitogenome contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 1 putative control region. Phylogenetic analysis of C. viridis within the family Pomacentridae based on the concatenated nucleotide sequences of entire PCGs confirmed the sister relationship among damselfish and anemonefish. This mitogenome sequence will provide a useful resource for understanding C. viridis-specific cryptic diversification and phylogeographic relationships in Pomacentridae.
