Complete mitochondrial genome of the Korean stumpy bullhead Pseudobagrus brevicorpus (Siluriformes, Bagridae)

Abstract

We describe the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Korean stumpy bullhead Pseudobagrus brevicorpus, which is an endangered species in Korea. The circle genome (16,526 bp) consists of 13 protein coding, 22 tRNA, 2 rRNA genes and 1 control region. It has the typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement.

Keywords::

• Korean stumpy bullhead
• complete mitochondrial genome
