title: Complete mitochondrial genome of the Antlered sculpin Enophrys diceraus (Scorpaeniformes, Cottidae).
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Enophrys diceraus (Cottidae) was determined for the first time by primer walking methods. It was 16,976 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region (CR). Within the CR, the extended termination-associated sequence, the central conserved sequence block (CSB-F, CSB-E, CSB-D, CSB-C, CSB-B, CSB-A) and the conserved sequence block (CSB-1, CSB-2, CSB-3) were identified. This first mitogenome information among marine sculpins is expected to enrich the knowledge on phylogenetic studies of this taxon.
