title: Complete mitochondrial genome of Lateolabrax maculatus.
abstract: In this study, we sequence the complete mitochondrial genome of Lateolabrax maculatus. This mitochondrial genome is 16,597 bp in length, encoding 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs and a non-coding control region as found in other vertebrates, with the gene synteny identical to those of typical vertebrates. Control region (D-Loop), of 929 bp in length, is located between tRNA(Pro) and tRNA(Phe). The overall base composition of the heavy strand shows T 25.9%, C 29.5%, A 27.3% and G 17.3%, with an AT bias of 53.2%.
