Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA plays an important role in living organisms, and has been used as a powerful molecular marker in various evolutionary studies. In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Anas crecca (16,601 bp in length). Similar to the typical mtDNA of vertebrates, it contained 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes and 22 tRNA genes) and a non-coding region (D-loop). Overall base composition of the complete mitochondrial DNA was 29.05% A, 22.35% T, 32.64% C and 15.96% G.
