Abstract
In the present study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Rhinogobio typus (Teleostei, Cyprinidae, Gobioninae) was obtained using a PCR-based method. The total length of the mitochondrial genome is 16,608 bp, including 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, and a non-coding control region (D-loop), which is similar to that observed in many other reported fishes. The overall-based composition is 31.3% A, 26.6% T, 15.9% G and 26.2% C, with high A + T content (57.9%). These results will provide a useful tool for species identification, evolutionary and population genetic studies of R. typus and its related species.
