Abstract
The mitogenome of Spinibarbus sinensis was 16,591 bp long containing two rRNA, 22 tRNA, 13 protein-coding genes and one D-loop region. Eight tRNA genes and one protein-coding gene were encoded on light strand, the others on heavy strand. The base composition and gene arrangement of S. sinensis mitogenome was identical to typical vertebrate.
