Abstract
The omnivorous fish Acrossocheilus parallens (Cypriniformes, Barbinae) is endemic to China. In this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of A. parallens was firstly determined. The circle genome (16,592 bp) comprises 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 1 control region. The overall base composition of A. parallens is 31.0% for A, 24.7% for T, 28.0% for C, and 16.3% for G, with a slight A + T bias of 55.7%. The termination-associated sequence and conserved sequence block domains were found in the control region. It has the typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement.
