Abstract
In this study, we sequenced and characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of Sarcocheilichthys lacustris from Heilongjiang River (Amur River) at fuyuan county, Heilongjiang province, China. The circular mitochondrial genome of S. lacustris was determined to be 16,684 bp in length. It contains typical complement of 13 protein coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and 1 control region.
