Complete mitochondrial genome sequence for the seahorse adulteration Hippocampus camelopardalis Bianconi 1854

Abstract: In the study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of giraffe seahorse, Hippocampus camelopardalis Bianconi, 1854. The genome of H. camelopardalis is found to be 16,523 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a control region (D-loop). The overall base composition of H. camelopardalis is 32.46% for A, 23.54% for C, 14.54% for G, and 29.46% for T, respectively. All PCGs use the typical initiation codon ATG, except for COX1 that uses GTG. The lengths of … Show more

“…The sample of H. grayi GSH-06 was deposited in the collection centre of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University. The entire mtDNA of this pipefish species was sequenced by universal primers according to the previous researches (Ge et al 2018;Lai et al 2019). The complete mtDNA sequence of H. grayi, with the annotated genes, was submitted to GenBank with the accession number of MN064721.…”

“…Molecular methods represent a useful independent means of confirming species status that requires little taxonomic expertise (Hebert et al 2003), and such methods are now often used to support the distinctness of newly described species from morphologically similar seahorses (González et al 2014;Zhang et al 2016;Short et al 2020), or challenge the validity of new species descriptions (Teske et al 2007). While most studies have used the DNA barcoding marker for animals, the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI or cox1), advances in DNA sequencing technology have now made it possible to sequence the entire mitochondrial genome (or mitogenome), and several seahorse mitogenomes have recently been published (Zhang et al 2015;Wang et al 2016Wang et al , 2019bChen et al 2018;Ge et al 2018;Lai et al 2019;Jahari et al 2020). The increased level of resolution provided by mitogenomes can be expected to significantly improve taxonomic resolution in cases where DNA barcoding provides insufficient information for distinguishing closely related species.…”

“…comm.). For example, the mitogenome of the East African H. camelopardalis was generated using a specimen from the same TCM market in Bozhou (Lai et al 2019), and both the West African seahorse H. algiricus and the South Africa H. capensis were reported from a Taiwanese TCM market (Chang et al 2013). The sale of H. capensis at these markets is a concern because this species is endangered, and endemic to three estuaries on the temperate south coast of South Africa (Teske et al 2003;Mkare et al 2017).…”

“…Seahorses and pipefishes belong to this family, along with pipehorses and seadragons [1][2][3][4][5]. Many syngnathids live in highly vulnerable inshore marine habitats [6] such as shallow reefs and lagoons [7,8], mangroves [9], estuaries [7,10,11], seagrass beds and algal flats [12,13]. This makes them highly susceptible to overfishing and habitat destruction.…”
