Abstract
In this paper, we first determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Squalidus argentatus, which was 16,607 bp in size and the whole base composition was estimated to be 30.48% A, 25.45% T, 27.36% C, 16.72% G with AT bias of 55.93%. The complete mitogenome comprised 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and 1 control region, with the gene order and content identical to other vertebrate mitogenomes. The complete mitogenome of S. argentatus provides the valuable information for population genetics and phylogeography studies on this species.
