title: Complete mitochondrial genome of the yellowbelly threadfin bream, Nemipterus bathybius (Perciformes, Nemipteridae).
abstract: The complete mitogenome of the yellowbelly threadfin bream, Nemipterus bathybius, has been reported for the first time in this study. The circular mtDNA molecule was 17 353 bp in size and the overall nucleotide composition of H-strand was 29.0% A, 28.3% T, 16.5% G, and 26.2% C, with an A + T bias. The complete mitogenome encoded 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and 2 non-coding regions, as found in other typical vertebrate mitogenomes. The D-loop located between tRNAProand tRNAPhegenes and the length was 1603 bp, rich in A + T (73.0%). The phylogenetic tree of complete mitogenome sequences of 12 families and 26 species showed that the family Nemipteridae was in the basal position of the suborder Percoidei, whereas its two associated families (Sparidae and Lethrinidae) were clustered together with other 7 families, which supported a non-monophyly of superfamily Sparoidea.
