The horn-nosed boxfish, <i>Ostracion rhinorhynchos</i> (Tetraodontiformes: Ostraciidae) is a toxic marine species inhabiting tropical coral reefs. In this study, we first reported its whole mitochondrial genome sequence. The complete mitochondrial genome, 16 483 bp with an AT ratio of 56.8%, is composed of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs and an 826-bp D-loop control region. The molecular-based phylogenetic tree indicated that <i>O. rhinorhynchos</i> has close affiniti ...[more]
