Addressing the complex phylogenetic relationship of the Gempylidae fishes using mitogenome data
Abstract The Gempylidae (snake mackerels) family, belonging to the order Perciformes, consists of about 24 species described in 16 genera primarily distributed in tropical, subtropical, and temperate seas worldwide. Despite substantial research on this family utilizing morphological and molecular ap...
