Abstract
Amusium pleuronectes, commonly known as the Asian moon scallop, is widely distributed in Indo-Pacific coasts. In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of A. pleuronectes (18,044 bp) is reported, which represents the first mitogenome from the Amusium genus. This mitogenome contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, and 22 tRNA genes, showing similar mitogenome features for most marine bivalves. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that within the family Pectinidae, the genus Amusium is closely related to the genus Argopecten. The mitogenome of A. pleuronectes provides a valuable resource for further advancing the understanding of bivalve phylogeny and evolution.
