Abstract
The complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the white-spotted char (Salvelinus leucomaenis) was determined to be 16,658 bp in length, which contains the control region (CR), the origin of light-strand replication (OL), 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal genes and 13 protein-coding genes. Overall, base composition of the complete mitochondrial DNA was 28.20% A, 26.51% T, 28.39% C, 16.90% G, with 54.71% AT.
