Abstract
The complete mitogenome of the pale-edged stingray (Dasyatis zugei) was first confirmed in this study. The mitogenome is 18,264 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs and 1 control region, with the typical gene order in vertebrates. Similar to nucleotide composition of most vertebrate mitogenomes, the nucleotide composition of the pale-edged stingray demonstrates low G and high A+T components. The control region of the pale-edged stingray is 2523 bp in length, the longest known in Chondrichthyes. The termination-associated sequence and two short conserved blocks (CSB II and CSB III) are found in the control region.
