title: The complete mitogenome of the common dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus).
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of the dolphinfish (GeneBank accession number KF719178) structure is similar to that of other teleosts, has a total length of 15,733 bp, the base composition was as follows: A (28.78%), T (29.25%), C (25.45%) and G (16.50%), which demonstrated an A+T (58.04%) rich feature. It contains 13 protein-coding genes and 23 tRNA genes that range from 54 to 72 bp. We compared our mitogenome with the one reported by Miya and collaborators in 2013 and found that the average number of nucleotide differences was k: 47.000 resulting in a nucleotide diversity Pi(t) of 0.00299.
