Abstract

The structure of the mitochondrial genome for the Pacific red snapper, Lutjanus peru, and the spotted rose snapper, Lutjanus gutattus, of specimens collected in the eastern Pacific is similar to the reported for other teleosts and shares the same configuration with other members of the family Lutjanidae. It has a total length of 16 502 and 16 508 base pairs (bp) for Lutjanus peru and L. gutattus, respectively; on average the base composition was A (27.9%), T (24.8%) C (30.9%), and G (16.4%), containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes; and the leucine (Leu) tRNA is duplicated.
