title: Complete mitochondrial genome of black porgy Acanthopagrus schlegelii (Perciformes, Sparidae).
abstract: Black porgy, Acanthopagrus schlegelii, is a marine protandrous hermaphrodite and belongs to one of the most important species commercialized for food in various areas of Asia. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of A. schlegelii has been determined. The mitogenome was 16,649 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and 2 non-coding regions. It shared 90.2%, 82.3%, and 82.1% mitogenome sequence with Acanthopagrus latus, Parargyrops edita, and Pagrus major, respectively.
