Abstract
In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of Caridina nilotica gracilipes. This mitochondrial genome, consisting of 15,550 base pairs, encoded 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a non-coding control region as those found in other Decapoda, with the gene synteny identical to that of typical invertebrates. Control region (D-Loop), of 673 bp in length, is located between 12S rRNA and tRNAIle. The overall base composition of the heavy strand shows T 30.4%, C 22.0%, A 33.0% and G 14.6%, with an AT bias of 63.4%.
