Abstract

In this study, the complete 16,979 bp mitochondrial genome of Lysmata wurdemanni (Gibbes, 1850) was determined from a specimen collected from Apalachee Bay, U.S. The mitogenome contains 37 genes, and consists of 32.33% A, 35.01% T, 19.55% C, and 13.10% G, with a total G + C content of 32.65%. A maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree based on mitochondrial protein-coding genes suggested L. wurdemanni is clustered with Lysmata vittata and Lysmata amboinensis, based on available mitochondrial sequences of relatives. These data are useful in determining phylogenetic relationships between Lysmatidae and Thoridae. The sequenced mitochondrial genome may also assist in understanding evolutionary distinctions and breeding strategies in hermaphroditic species.
