title: Complete mitochondrial genome of Japanese Konosirus punctatus (Clupeiformes: Clupeidae).
abstract: The long polymerase chain reaction and primer walking methods were employed for the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Japanese Konosirus punctatus. The mitogenome is a circular molecule 16,698 bp in length, including the typical structure of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 2 non-coding regions (L-strand replication origin and control region), the gene contents of which are identical to those observed in most bony ﬁshes. Within the control region, we identiﬁed the termination-associated sequence domain, the central conserved sequence block domains (CSB-F, CSB-E, CSB-D, CSB-C, and CSB-B), and the conserved sequence block domains (CSB-2 and CSB-3).
