Abstract

Abstract

The gene composition of eels mitochondrial genomes is conservative. In 58 mitochondrial genomes, only three ones exist differences of gene number. There are major encoding gene rearrangements in 19 eels mitochondrial genomes. The mutation sites analyses of major encoding genes support that nad5, nad4 and nad2 genes are ideal assistant markers to cox1 and lrRNA genes. Twenty species (subspecies) from Anguillidae are clustered together, which strongly support that the family Anguillidae is a monophyletic group (BPP=100). Three groups (Oceanian group, Atlantic group and the Indo-Pacific group) from Anguillidae are also strong verified (BPP of all three clades are 100). There are closest relationship between Nemichthyidae and Serrivomeridae, and they clustering with a sister group Anguillidae (BPP=100). In the suborder Saccopharyngoidei, Eurypharyngidae is clustering with Saccopharyngidae (BPP=100). Meanwhile, Monognathidae is clustering with Cyematidae (BPP=100), four families are clustered together, which strongly support that the suborder Saccopharyngoidei is one monophyletic group (BPP=100). Within the suborder Saccopharyngoidei, there are major encoding gene rearrangements in three species (Eurypharynx pelecanoides, Saccopharynx lavenbergi and Monognathus jesperseni) mitochondrial genomes. Sixteen eels (Ariosoma shiroanago, Derichthys serpentinus, Coloconger cadenati, Nessorhamphus ingolfianus, Thalassenchelys sp., Cynoponticus ferox, Muraenesox bagio, Myrichthys maculosus, Ophisurus macrorhynchos, Paraconger notialis, Heteroconger hassi, Nettastoma parviceps, Leptocephalus sp., Hoplunnis punctata, Facciolella oxyrhyncha and Conger myriaster) share translocation of nad6 gene, which compared with the Anguilliformes mitochondrial original arrangement. Phylogenetic tree based on the 13 mitochondrial protein-coding genes also strongly support the clustering of them (BPP=100). As a result, however, whether Muraenesocidae, Chlopsidae and Congridae are monophyletic groups or not, which worthy of further exploration.
