Abstract
Pelteobagrus fulvidraco (yellow catfish) is a small-sized species in the family Bagridae, order Siluriformes. In this study, we determined the complete mitogenome sequence of P. fulvidraco and performed phylogenetic analysis with closely related species. The complete mitochondrial genome of P. fulvidraco was 16,527 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 2 non-coding regions: control region (D-loop) and the origin of light-strand replication. We inferred that five markers in mitogenome, i.e. D-loop, ND5, 16SrRNA, COXI and ND1, may be suitable markers for studies on population genetics, phylogeny, conservation genetics and evolutionary adaptation mechanisms.
