Abstract

In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the hybrid of Siniperca chuatsi (♀) × Siniperca scherzeri (♂). The total length of the hybrid mitogenome is 16,497 bp, with the base composition of 28.61% A, 29.16% C, 16.23% G, and 26.00% T. It contains 2 rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 1 control region. The composition and order of these genes are identical to most of other vertebrates. All the protein-coding genes start with ATG, except for COX1 with the initiation codon GTG. Three types of stop codons are used by the coding genes, including complete stop codons (TAA and TAG) and an incomplete stop codon (T). Three conserved domains were observed in the control region. The complete mitogenome of the hybrid of S. chuatsi (♀) × S. scherzeri (♂) could contribute to a better solution of the study in mitochondrial inheritance mechanism.
