Popis: Although the mitochondrial genomes of most Acanthuriformes fish have been sequenced, this has not been done for Prionurinae fish yet. The Scalpel sawtail (Prionurus scalprum Valenciennes, 1835) found in all tropical and sub-tropical seas, is an important link between primary producers and higher trophic levels. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the Scalpel sawtail, Prionurus scalprum Valenciennes, 1835 (accession number: OK323243) was sequenced. The complete mitochondrial genome included 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and a control region; the total length was 16,522 bp. The nucleotide composition of the genome was as follows: A, 28.46%; T, 27.62%; G, 16.46%; and C, 27.46%. All genes were encoded on the H-strand, except for the eight tRNA genes and NADH dehydrogenase subunit (ND6). A phylogenetic tree was constructed using the neighbor-joining (NJ) method and the phylogenetic position of the Scalpel sawtail was established. This provides useful data for future research on Acanthuridae fish.
