摘要: AbstractThe basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) is the world’s second largest fish and subject of strong conservation concern. Minimal genetic assessment exists for this globally distributed but regionally endangered species. We describe complete mitochondrial genome sequence C. maximus, obtained via polymerase chain reaction-based Sanger sequencing. The total length mitogenome 16,670 bp consists 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs 13 protein-coding genes. base composition has an A + T bias (63.6%), as often seen in other sharks. Gene order equivalent to that found most vertebrates.
