Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced from the freshwater sculpin Cottus koreanus. The genome sequence was 16,560 bp in size, and the gene order and contents were identical with those of previously reported fish mitochondrial genomes. Of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 3 genes (CO2, ND4, Cytb) had incomplete stop codons. The base composition of C. koreanus mitogenome showed anti-G bias (13.94% and 12.73%) on the second and third positions of PCGs, respectively.
