title: The complete mitochondrial genome of Zebrias crossolepis (Pleuronectiformes: Soleidae).
abstract: Zebrias crossolepis belongs to the family Soleidae of Pleuronectiformes. This species and its congeners are characterized by eyes on right side and a compressed body with only anterior half of caudal fin margin connected with dorsal and anal fins. In this article, we determined and described the complete mitogenome of Z. crossolepis. The genome is 16,734 bp in length, and is typically consist of 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding, two ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA genes, as well as a putative control region and an L-strand replication origin. The gene organization is identical to that of typical bony fishes. The overall base composition is 28.3, 26.4, 30.0, and 15.3% for A, T, C, and G, respectively, with a slight bias on AT content (54.7%). This result is expected to contribute to understanding the systematic evolution of the genus Zebrias and further phylogenetic studies of Soleidae and Pleuronectiformes.
