Abstract:
Luciogobius parvulus (Snyder, 1909) is distributed in restricted areas of Japan and South Korea. Here, we report the first complete mitochondrial genome of this species. The 16,488 bp mitogenome contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, and two rRNAs, with no gene rearrangements detected. Four protein-coding genes (COX2, COX3, ND4, and CytB) exhibit incomplete stop codons. Maximum-likelihood analysis of Gobionellinae indicates that two Luciogobius species may require morphological reexamination. Only five of the 17 Luciogobius species currently have complete mitogenomes. These results provide essential genomic data for future phylogenetic and taxonomic studies
