The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the sakura shrimp, Sergia lucens (Crustacea, Decapoda, Sergestidae)

Abstract

Here, we present the complete mitochondrial genome of the sakura shrimp, Sergia lucens (Crustacea, Decapoda, Sergestidae). The circular genome is 16,087 base pairs in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes. The nucleotide composition of the S. lucens mitogenome is biased towards A + T (69.9%). The gene arrangement was identical to penaeid shrimps. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis using the nucleotide sequences of 13 protein-coding genes placed S. lucens next to Acetes chinensis, supporting the conventional taxonomic relationship of Sergia and Acetes.
