title: Complete mitochondrial genome of the golden drum Chrysochir aurenus (Perciformes, Sciaenidae) and its phylogeny.
abstract: The golden drum (Chrysochir aurenus) is an important food fish of Indo-West Pacific and China. To study the phylogenetic status, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of C. aurenus. The mitogenome is 16 505 bp in length and composed of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and a control region. The gene composition and the structural arrangement of C. aurenus complete mtDNA were identical to most of other vertebrates. The phylogenetic analysis using the complete mitochondrial genome revealed that the C. aurenus might be grouped in different genera of Argyrosominae, but not belonged to Otolithinae, which was highly consistent with that based on the morphology. The present study will be helpful for the evolution and conservation genetic studies of C. aurenus.
