The mitochondrial genome of Stereolepis doederleini (Pempheriformes: Polyprionidae) and mitogenomic phylogeny of Pempheriformes

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of Stereolepis doederleini was sequenced from a specimen collected in a commercial aquarium in Jeju Island. The sequence was 16,513 base pairs in length and, similar to other vertebrate mt genomes, included 37 mt genes and a noncoding control region; the gene order was identical to that of typical vertebrate mt genome. Mitochondrial genome sequences of 17 species from 12 families were used to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships within the order Pempheriformes. The phylogenetic trees were constructed with three methods (neighbor joining [NJ], maximum likelihood [ML], and Bayesian method) using 12 protein coding genes, but not ND6 . In all phylogenetic trees, Pempheriformes were clustered into three strongly supported clades. Two Acropomatidae species ( Synagrops japonicus in clade-Ⅰ and Doederleinia berycoides in clade-Ⅲ) were polyphyletic; S . japonicus was close to Lateolabracidae and was the sister of Glaucosomatidae + (Pempheridae/(Percophidae+Creediidae)), and D . berycoides was sister to Howellidae + Epigonidae. All phylogenetic trees supported a sister relationship between Creediidae and Percophidae in clade-Ⅰ. Glaucosomatidae formed a sister clade with Pempheridae. The relationships within clade-Ⅱ, which was composed of four families (Pentacerotidae, Polyprionidae, Banjosidae, and Bathyclupeidae), slightly differed between NJ/ML and BI tree topologies. In clade-Ⅲ, the relationships among Howellidae, Epigonidae, and Acropomatidae were strongly supported.

Phylogenetic Classification of Living and Fossil Ray-Finned Fishes (Actinopterygii)

“…The earliest fossil Labriformes are species classified as Labridae or pan-labrids that include †Bellwoodilabrus landinii (Bannikov and Carnevale 2010), †Labrobolcus giorgioi (Bannikov and Bellwood 2015), †Eocoris bloti (Bannikov and Sorbini 1990), †Phyllopharyngodon longipinnis (Bellwood 1990), †Zorzinilabrus furcatus (Bannikov and Bellwood 2017), and †Paralabrus rossiae (Bannikov and Zorzin 2019) Li et al 2009;Betancur-R, Broughton, et al 2013;Near et al 2013Near et al , 2015Thacker et al 2015;Davis et al 2016;Sanciangco et al 2016;Betancur-R et al 2017;Mirande 2017;Ghedotti et al 2018;Rabosky et al 2018;Satoh 2018;Oh et al 2021;Ghezelayagh et al 2022;.

Nelson et al 2016:434) is not monophyletic (W. L. Smith and Craig 2007;Betancur-R, Broughton, et al 2013;Near et al 2013Near et al , 2015Thacker et al 2015;Davis et al 2016;Sanciangco et al 2016;Mirande 2017;Ghedotti et al 2018;Rabosky et al 2018;Oh et al 2021;Ghezelayagh et al 2022; Composition. There are currently 306 living species of Acropomatiformes (Fricke et al 2023) that include Dinolestes lewini and species classified in Acropomatidae, Banjos, Bathyclupeidae, Champsodon, Creediidae, Epigonidae, Glaucosoma, Hemerocoetidae, Howellidae, Lateolabrax, Malakichthyidae, Ostracoberyx, Pempheridae, Pentacerotidae, Polyprion, Scombrops, Schuettea, Synagropidae, and Symphysanodontidae (W.
