The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Stromateus stellatus (Scombriformes: Stromateidae): Organization, Gene Arrangement, and Phylogenetic Position Within the Suborder Stromateoidei

The gene order and content are consistent with those reported for other Stromateidae species and correspond to the typical arrangement observed in most bony fishes. This mitochondrial genome represents the first one reported for the genus <i>Stromateus</i>, providing valuable insights into the genetic makeup of <i>S. stellatus</i>, contributing to a better understanding of marine biodiversity. Additionally, these data will support future research on pelagic fish evolution and assist in sustainable fisheries management.
