Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of Takifugu pseudommus was reported in the present study. It was 16,448 bp in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a non-coding control region. The nucleotide content of this genome was 29.91% for A, 29.09% for C, 15.20% for G, and 25.80% for T. The phylogenetic tree, constructed with complete mitochondrial genome, suggested T. pseudommus was closely related with T. chinensis, T. flavidus, and T. rubripes among Tetraodontidae species. This study could provide an important dataset for genetic diversity and species identification among the genus Takifugu.
