Title

The complete mitochondrial genome of Chilean Jack Mackerel, Trachurus murphyi Nichols, 1920 (Teleostei, Carangidae)

Abstract

he Chilean jack mackerel (Trachurus murphyi, Nichols, 1920) is a pelagic fish of high fishery interest, with a global capture of 828,358 mt in 2021. We report the complete mitochondrial genome of T. murphyi (Teleostei, Carangidae), collected in Bahia de Zapallar, Chile (32°33’02.59’’ S, 71°27’55.38’’ W). The size of the mitogenome is 16,561 bp (H-strand composition: 25.9% A, 16.7% C, 29.8% G, and 27.5% T). The mitogenome has the classic vertebrate gene content of 13 protein-coding, two rRNA, and 22 tRNA genes, as found in Carangidae and other Teleostei families. Phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial genomes of 22 related species revealed that T. murphyi formed a well-supported monophyletic group with the other Trachurus species, being T. simmetricus its closest relative. Sequencing the mitochondrial genome from T. murphyi is the first step in developing traceability tools based on DNA analysis to enforce fishing quotas and trace the processed food and foodstuff containing Chilean jack mackerel following the objective of the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organization (SPRFMO).
