Abstract
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Coilia nasus had been determined by long PCR and primer walking methods. The complete mitochondrial genome is 16,896 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 control region, we identified the extended termination associated sequence domain (ETAS), the central conserved sequence block domain (CSB-D, SCB-E and CSB-F) and the conserved sequence block domain (CSB-1, CSB-2 and CSB-3).
