The mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of the family Serpulidae are characterized by a high nucleotide sequence divergence and a significant number of gene order rearrangements compared with other families within the phylum Annelida. However, only two of 50 genera of serpulids have mitogenomes already sequenced. In this study, we report the first sequencing and assembly of the complete mitogenome of Ficopomatus, thus providing further knowledge on mitochondrial gene sequences of Serpulidae.
