Abstract
Liparis tessellatus is a cubed snailfish that inhabits the northwestern region of the Pacific Ocean. The family Liparidae is difficult to distinguish morphologically due to the typical body color and shape variation, which are used interchangeably due to the differences in local dialects. Therefore, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of L. tesellatus. The mitochondrial genome length of L. tesellatus was determined as 17,221 bp, which consisted of 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and a control region (D-loop). The base composition was as follows: 28.6% of A, 29.5% of T, 26.5% of C, and 15.4% of G. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that L. tesellatus clustered together with different species of the genus Liparis. Thus, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence provided herein would further help in understanding the evolution of Liparis species.
