Descripción
Sumario:Saccostrea echinata is a rock perched oyster with wide distribution and tremendous potential for commercial mariculture. However, the taxonomy of this genus is confused. In this study, we described the complete mitochondrial genome of medium-sized form of Saccostrea echinata. The genome is 16,282 bp in length, encoding the standard set of 12 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 23 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes, with circular organization. The overall base composition of the whole mitochondrial genome was A (26.78%), T (36.64%), G (21.99%), and C (14.59%) with an AT bias of 63.42%. The longest PCG of these species was ND5, whereas the shortest was ND4L.
