Abstract
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Chinese bahaba was determined by long PCR and primer walking methods. The complete mitochondrial genome is 16,500 bp in length and contains 37 mitochondrial genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 22 transfer RNA genes) as well as a control region (CR) as other bony fishes. Within the CR, we identified the extended termination-associated sequence domain, the central conserved sequence block domains (CSB-D, CSB-E and CSB-F) and the conserved sequence block domains (CSB-1, CSB-2 and CSB-3).
