Abstract

Chaetodon auriga (Forsskal, 1775) belongs to the family Chaetodontidae and the order Chaetodontiformes. Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of C. auriga assembled using the Illumina MiSeq platform. The circular mitochondrial genome of C. auriga is 16,527 bp long, has an A + T content of 54.53%, and contains 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes), and a non-coding region. The overall nucleotide composition was A: 28.19%, T: 26.34%, G: 16.27%, and C: 29.20%. The mitochondrial genome of C. auriga contributes to revealing the phylogenetic relationships among species of the Chaetodontidae family.
