Abstract excerpt
The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the frigate tuna Auxis thazard and two divergent mitotypes (Mitotype I and Mitotype II) of the bullet tuna Auxis rochei have been determined. The total length of the mitogenomes was 16,506, 16,501 and 16,503 bp, respectively. All mitogenomes had a gene content (13 protein-coding, 2 rRNAs and 22 tRNAs) and organization similar to those observed in most other vertebrates....
