Abstract

In the present study, the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the hybrid from Takifugu fasciatus (♀) × T. flavidus (♂) was sequenced and characterized. The genome sequence was 16 443 bp in size, and the gene order and contents were identical with those of congeneric species in the genus Takifugu. Comparing with the complete mitochondrial genome of its parents, the hybrid of T. fasciatus (♀) × T. flavidus (♂) was consistent with a maternal inheritance. All the initiation codons of protein-coding genes are ATG, except for COX1 that begins with GTG. The complete mitogenome of the hybrid of T. fasciatus (♀) × T. flavidus (♂) provides an important dataset for the exploration of mitochondrial inheritance mechanism.
