| Summary: | The complete mitochondrial genome of Photopectoralis bindus was sequenced by high throughput sequencing method in this study. Length of this genome is 16,517 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and one large non-coding region. ND6 and eight tRNA genes are encoded by L-strand, and others are encoded by H-strand, which is similar to those in most vertebrates. The nucleotide composition of the whole mitogenome is 29.9% A, 30.1% C, 15.1% G, and 25.0% T, with a slight bias of A + T content (54.9%). Phylogenetic tree based on the first and second codon sequences of 12 protein coding genes (except ND6) shows that the clade of P. bindus is closely clustered with that of Gazza minuta, and families Rachycentridae and Carangidae have the closest relationship to Leiognathidae.
