ABSTRACT
The complete mitochondrial genome of Argopecten irradians strain Zhongkehong was sequenced and annotated it is 16,212â¯bp in length and contains twelve protein-coding genes (atp8 is absent, as in most species in Anisomyaria), two ribosomal RNA genes, and 21 transfer RNA genes (trnS is absent and there are two copies of trnF). The heavy strand has an overall Aâ¯+â¯T content of 57.3%; GC and AT skews are 0.249 and -0.262, respectively, indicating more Gs and more Ts than Cs and As. Phylogenetic analysis based on Bayesian Inference and Maximum Likelihood of the twelve protein-coding genes shows that A. irradians has close relationships with A. purpuratus and A. ventricosus; this indicated that A. irradians belongs to the Pectinidae family. The Pectinidae was sister to (Ostreidaeâ¯+â¯Mytilidae). This work provides general information on the evolution of cultured scallops.
