Abstract
The complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome of Culter alburnus was determined to be 16,622 bp in length by Sanger sequencing technology, and to contain 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes and 2 ribosomal genes. Its total A + T content is 55.99%. 6 CSBs (CSB-1, CSB-2, CSB-3, CSB-D, CSB-E and CSB-F) and 1TAS were identified in the control region; the control region also included a 2 bp tandem repeat with 8 repeat times.
