Abstract
We present the complete mitochondrial genome of Toxotes chatareus yielded by the next-generation sequencing data in this study. The complete mitochondrial genome of T. chatareus has 16,543 bp and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a single control region (D-loop). The overall base composition was A 28.75%, C 29.80%, G 15.77%, T 25.68% and its gene arrangement was similar with other Carangaria mitochondrial genomes. Additionally, the phylogenetic relationships of 13 Carangaria species based on the complete mitochondrial genome was analyzed using the neighbor-joining method. The result showed T. chatareus was clustered with L. lactarius suggesting the close phylogenetic affinity they owned. Together, the complete mitochondrial genome of T. chatareus would be beneficial for the study of phylogenetic relationship, taxonomic classification and phylogeography of the Carangaria.
