Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of giant jellyfish Nemopilema nomurai collected from East China Sea was determined by next-generation sequencing. The mitogenome is a circular molecule 17,024 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes (including Cox 1, Cox2, Atp 8, Atp 6, ND5, ND 6, ND3, ND41, ND1,ND4, Cytb), 6 tRNAs (tRNA-Trp, tRNA-Met, tRNA-Val, tRNA-Arg, tRNA-Glu, tRNA-Asn), 2 rRNA genes (small subunit RNA and large subunit RNA), and 1 putative control region. The phylogenetic tree in the related species showed that giant jellyfish is close to Hydraoligaclis.

A few reports are available on complete mitochondrial genomes as in Aurelia aurita (Shao et al. 2006), Aurelia sp. nov. (Hwang et al. 2014a) and Craspedacusta sowerbyi (Zou et al. 2012) and Chrysaora quinquecirrha (Hwang et al. 2014b)
DNA from 1g bell tissue of a single specimen of N. nomurai weighing $10 kg collected from East China Sea (32.00N, 123.50E) was extracted by standard phenol–chloroform extraction method (Sambrook & Russell 2001) and part of the rest of the sample was preserved in À20 C at KLMEES Institute of Oceanology with the voucher no
