Mitochondrial genome of Esox flaviae (Southern pike): announcement and comparison with other Esocidae

摘要: Pikes are fish species belonging to order Esociformes, family Esocidae, genus Esox. Species of the Esox common, large, and economically important for food fishing activities. Recently, a new species, southern pike E. flaviae, was described well-studied area such as Italy, using also two mtDNA markers: cox1 cytb. A scant number remnant populations persist in threatened by habitat loss degradation competition possible hybridization with lucius, massively recurrently stocked sustain angling pressure. The availability markers will possibly contribute conservation species. Currently, whole mitogenome information is available only lucius reichertii. aim present paper report novel mitogenomic pike.
