The complete mitochondrial genome of Liachirus melanospilos (Pleuronectiformes: Soleidae).
Liachirus melanospilos (Pleuronectiformes: Soleidae) is characterized by both eyes on the right side of the body and pale brown color with black dots, small irregular, brown spots and large vague ocelli. In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of this carpet sole has been determined. The total length is 17,001 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes and 2 rRNA genes (12S and 16S), as well as one control region and one L-strand replication origin (OL). Gene contents, locations and arrangements are identical to those of typical bony fishes. The nucleotide composition of the genome is 30.9%, 27.8%, 15.9% and 25.5% for A, C, G and T, respectively, with a slight bias of A + T content (56.4%). The determination of L. melanospilos complete mitogenome sequence could contribute to a better understanding of the systematic evolution of Soleidae and Pleuronectiformes.
