This is the first report on the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of South African Thyrsites atun (Euphrasén, 1791) and its phylogenetic placement within the Gempylidae family. The complete mitogenome of snoek is 16,494 bp in length and comprises 2 rRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, and one control region. Gene order is similar to t...
