Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced from the freshwater fish, Pseudobagrus medianalis (Siluriformes: Bagridae) in this study. The genome sequence was 16,647 bp in length, and the gene order and contents were identical with the bagridae fishes. The mitochondrial genome contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs and 2 non-coding regions (control region and origin of light-strand replication). All genes were encoded on the heavy strain except for ND6 and eight tRNA genes. The overall base composition is 25.7% A, 30.9% T, 28.0% G, 15.4% C, with an A+T bias of 56.6%. The complete mitogenome data provides useful genetic markers for the studies on the molecular identification, population genetics, phylogenetic analysis and conservation genetics.
