Complete mitochondrial genome of the hydrothermal vent stalked barnacle Vulcanolepas fijiensis (Cirripedia, Scalpelliforms, Eolepadidae)

The family Eolepadidae is the only stalked barnacle in hydrothermal vent regions. Here, we determined the mitogenome of the eolepadid Vulcanolepas fijiensis. The mitogenome was 17,374 bp long, with 76.6% AT content. Its protein-coding gene organization was identical to that of the deep-sea scalpelli...

Description
Summary:The family Eolepadidae is the only stalked barnacle in hydrothermal vent regions. Here, we determined the mitogenome of the eolepadid Vulcanolepas fijiensis. The mitogenome was 17,374 bp long, with 76.6% AT content. Its protein-coding gene organization was identical to that of the deep-sea scalpellid Arcoscalpellum epeeum. On the mitogenomic tree, two scalpellomorphan families (Eolepadidae and Scalpellidae) were monophyletic while the other scalpellomorphan family Pollicipedidae did not form the monophyletic group with them. Further mitogenomic analysis of undetermined taxa in hydrothermal vents is required to deepen our understanding of their phylogenetic relationships.
