AbstractThe Clarion-Clipperton Zone ( CCZ ) in the tropical East Pacific is a region of interest for deep-sea mining due to its underwater deposits of polymetallic nodules containing economically important metals such as nickel, copper, and cobalt. It is also a region of extensive baseline studies aiming to describe the state of the environment, including the biodiversity of the benthic fauna. An abundant component of the abyssal plain ecosystem consists of sessile fauna which encrusts polymetallic nodules and are vulnerable to potential impacts arising from exploitation activities, particularly removal of substrate. Therefore, this fauna is often considered to have key species whose genetic connectivity should be studied to assess their ecological resilience. One such species is    Abyssoprimnoa   gemina    Cairns, 2015, a deep-sea coral from the  CCZ  whose presence in the Interoceanmetal Joint Organization ( IOM ) claim area has been confirmed during samplings. In this study, we used next-generation sequencing ( NGS ) to obtain the  18S  nuclear rRNA gene and the complete mitochondrial genome of    A.   gemina    from  IOM  exploration area. The mitogenome is 18,825 bp long and encodes for 14 protein coding genes, 2 rRNAs, and a single tRNA. The two phylogeny reconstructions derived from these data confirm previous studies and display    A.   gemina    within a highly supported cluster of seven species whose mitogenomes are all colinear and of comparable size. This study also demonstrates the suitability of  NGS  for DNA barcoding of the benthic megafauna of the  CCZ , which could become part of the  IOM  protocol for the assessment of population diversity and genetic connectivity in its claim area.
