The complete mitochondrial genome of the half-fin anchovy, Setipinna tenuifilis (Valenciennes, 1848)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the half-fin anchovy, Setipinna tenuifilis collected from Yellow and Bohai Seas was determined by next-generation sequencing. The mitogenome is a circular molecule 16,668 bp in length, including the typical structure of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region. The termination-associated sequence (TAS), central conserved sequence block (CSB) and CSB are detected in the control region. The gene contents of the mitogenome are identical to those observed in most bony fishes.
