Abstract

The arrangement of protein and rRNA encoding genes in the mitochondrial genome of Haliotis conicopora (Vetigastropoda, Gastropoda, Mollusca) has been partly determined using standard PCR methods. Two gene complexes, one including COIII/ ND3/ND2/COI/COII/ATP8/ATP6, and the other including 12S/16S/ND1/ND6/Cyt b/ND4L/ND4/ND5, are clarified. It is revealed that, if tRNA genes are ignored, the mitochondrial gene order of Haliotis conicopora is in agreement with that of Haliotis rubra (Vetigastropoda, Gastropoda, Mollusca) (NC_005940).
