title: The complete mitochondrial genome of Pampus echinogaster (Perciformes: Stromateidae).
abstract: The long PCR and primer walking methods are employed for determining the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Pampus echinogaster. The mitogenome is a circular molecule of 17,694 bp in length including the structure of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 23 transfer RNA genes and 2 non-coding regions (L-strand replication origin and control region). Two tRNA(Met) genes are identified in the tRNA-IQM region. Within the control region, we identify the termination-associated sequence domain (TAS), a central conserved domain (CSB-F, CSB-E and CSB-D) and three conserved sequence blocks (CSB-1, CSB-2 and CSB-3). There are 10 copies of tandem repeats of 120-124 bp in the control region, which contain CSB-3.
