  • Mitogenomic profiling of Marcia recens (Holten, 1802): a step towards taxonomic resolution of India's Ashtamudi short-neck clam

    The Ashtamudi short-neck clam forms a significant fishery resource holding India’s first Marine Stewardship Council Certification. The taxonomic classification of this particular clam has engendered debate regarding its proper nomenclature. The present study aims to provide its first comprehensive mitogenome profile from the type locality to address the existing taxonomic ambiguity. The mitogenome assembled using the genome skimming method had 17,991 base-pair length with 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs and control region. Phylogenetic analysis based on the concatenated data set of PCGs and rRNAs from 47 representative species of Veneridae grouped all species including short-neck clams from the subfamily Tapetinae into a single clade. This analysis also revealed the polyphyly of the genus Marcia. Nevertheless, the short-neck clam co-clustered with Marcia recens from Chinese waters.
