- Assembly, Characterization, and Phylogenetic Insights from the Complete Mitochondrial Genome of (Pleuronectiformes: Pleuronectidae). Teng, Guangliang Miao, Yue Zhao, Yongsong Qian, Tangyi Shan, Xiujuan is a commercially important demersal fish in the Northwest Pacific. However, the resource stock of this species has undergone a drastic decline due to overfishing and habitat degradation. As a representative taxon for benthic adaptation in the order Pleuronectiformes, the molecular mechanisms underlying its specialized phenotypic traits remain poorly elucidated. Furthermore, population-level studies focusing on the mitochondrial genome of are currently scarce. Given that the mitochondrial genome serves as an ideal genetic tool for deciphering species evolution and population genetics, sequencing of its mitogenome will help fill critical gaps in genetic resources and provide essential support for species conservation and phylogenetic research. In this study, we sequenced, assembled, and annotated its complete mitochondrial genome. The circular mitogenome is 17,171 bp in length and exhibits a typical A + T bias (54.04%). Repeat sequence analysis identified 35 dispersed repeats. Codon usage analysis revealed that leucine was the most frequently encoded amino acid, with CUU being the preferred codon. Several protein-coding genes possessed incomplete stop codons (T--/TA-), and a nucleotide preference for A and C was observed at the third codon position. Phylogenetic reconstruction based on mitogenomes from 23 species supported the monophyly of the order Pleuronectiformes. showed the closest relationship with , forming a distinct clade alongside and . These results provide essential genetic resources for understanding the evolution and population genetics of and related flatfishes. According to the investigation, this study represents the first report on the sequencing and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of the . This not only fills the gap in mitochondrial genetic information for this species but also provides a reference for subsequent investigations into the phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary processes within the family Pleuronectidae.
