Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid grouper Epinehelus moara ♀ × Epinephelus lanceolatus ♂ is presented in this study. The mitochondrial genome is 16,418 bp long and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a control region. The gene order and composition of the hybrid grouper mitochondrial genome were similar to that of most other vertebrates. The nucleotide compositions of the light strand in descending order was 28.86% of G, 28.61% of T, 26.46% of A and 16.08% of C. With the exception of the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 6 (ND6) and eight tRNA genes, all other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand. The phylogenetic analysis by maximum-likelihood (ML) method shows that the hybrid grouper has closer relationship to Epinehelus moara and Epinehelus bruneus.
