Abstract
We are presenting the complete mitogenomes of eight fish species/cytotypes from Neotropical region belonging to the Astyanax and Psalidodon genus: A. aeneus, A. altiparanae, P. fasciatus (from two locations - Upper Paraná and São Francisco river basins), A. lacustris, P. rivularis (two cytotypes) and P. rioparanaibano. We perform the whole-genome sequencing for six of these species in a Novaseq 6000 - by Illumina, meanwhile two genomes were assembled from raw data available in databases. Plus, we reassembled and annotated the mitochondrial genomes for A. mexicanus and P. paranae, both already described and with raw data available online. All the genomes presented the same organization, with 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes and two rRNA genes. Aiming to contribute to the understanding of the several cryptic species complexes and phylogeny of the genus, we perform Bayesian analysis using the 13 protein-coding genes from these species, plus Deuterodon giton and using a Brycon species as outgroup.
