title: The complete mitochondrial genome of perch Perca fluviatilis (Perciformes: Percidae).
abstract: In this study, we cloned and sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of Perca fluviatilis. It was a circular double-stranded DNA molecule of 16,537 base pairs (bp) in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and two main non-coding regions (the control region and the origin of the light strand replication). The mitogenome of shared common features with those of other toleosts in terms of gene order and base composition. All protein-coding genes were initiated with ATG except for COX 1, which began with GTG instead. However, the termination codons of 13 protein-coding genes are varied with TAG, TAA or T. This mitogenome sequence data would contribute to better understanding phylogenetic relationships and population genetics of the family Percidae.
