title: The complete mitochondrial genome of the marbled flounder Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae (Pleuronectiformes, Pleuronectidae).
abstract: We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of the marbled flounder Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae collected from the Yellow Sea off China. The mitogenome comprised a 16 864-bp circular DNA molecule containing 37 genes and an AT-rich control region known as the D-loop. Phylogenetic analysis based on the mitochondrial genomes of marbled flounder indicated that P. yokohamae and Verasper variegatus are the most closely related species, which strongly supports their close phylogenetic affinity.
