The complete mitochondrial genome of rockfishSebastes oculatusValenciennes, 1833 from southwest Atlantic ocean

Abstract

The mitogenome of rockfish, Sebastes oculatus, has been determined for the first time. Assembled mitogenome was 16,767 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA and two ribosomal RNA genes as well as the non-coding region. The order and structure are the same as those of other Sebastes species. S. oculatus was sister to S. nigrocinctus and this clade is closely related with S. rubrivinctus, as well as support for previously published complete mitochondrial genome trees (Sandel et al. 2018). The mitogenome of S. oculatus provides significant DNA molecular data for further identification and phylogenetic analysis within Scorpaenid.

Evaluating Metabarcoding Markers for Identifying Zooplankton and Ichthyoplankton Communities to Species in the Salish Sea: Morphological Comparisons and Rare, Threatened or Invasive Species

“…One of the more popular mtDNA gene regions for identifying invertebrate and fish species is cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), which was advocated as the "barcode of life" in the 2000s [43]. Consequently, many invertebrate and fish species have been sequenced for COI, yielding high representation in sequence repositories (e.g., [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50]). Our study evaluates its species identifications in the Salish Sea using the metabarcoding COI marker "LrCOI" designed by Leray et al (2013) [49] as modified by Geller et al (2013) [50], which averages 313 base pairs (bp) in length (Supplementary Table S1), has been widely employed for invertebrates from marine and freshwater habitats [13,[49][50][51][52], and additionally resolves some fish taxa [49].…”

“… 2018 ; Kim et al. 2019 ), and S. owstoni , which is sister to S. taczanowskii instead of S. minor (Hyde and Vetter 2007 ). The Bayesian phylogeny (not shown) is identical to the maximum likelihood phylogeny except that S. steindachneri is sister to S. melanostictus instead of S. minor, and S. nigrocinctus is sister to S. rubrivinctus instead of S. umbrosus and S. oculatus .…”
